✅Benefits of the Bosu✔️ Instability training on BOSU balls, balance discs, wobble boards, and the like in theory was supposed to help with balance, core activation, improved muscle recruitment, etc. After repeated practice on these devices my non-rehab personal training clients, they seemed to improve in their ability to perform movements on unstable surfaces, but… Doing the same movements OFF the unstable surface training tools and now on stable ground, they would often demonstrate signs of instability and improper movement patterns.I want you to think about the fact that the human body has a tremendous ability to be adaptive. The ability of the brain and central nervous system to literally re-wire circuits to compensate for injury and weaknesses. The examples of this are endless, many which scientist still can’t fully explain. The stroke victim who has a portion of their brain responsible for speech deadened, but somehow miraculously another portion of their brain takes over and they begin speaking again. Individuals with spinal column injuries who were told they’d never walk again, do walk again. These stories are inspiring no doubt, but they also remind us of the amazing ability of the human body to adapt. Practice squatting or doing some other exercise on a BOSU ball and your body adapts to doing that movement on an unstable surface. That makes perfect sense to me and I can see the correlation if you would be doing an activity or sport involving an unstable surface (skateboarding, etc). What if you were looking to be a better soccer player, football player, etc, or perhaps just someone who desired improved movement and function with their every day life activities? I’m here to tell you that unless you’re doing some sort of rehab (more on that in a minute), exercising while standing on top of one of these gadgets isn’t such a hot idea. #form #family #fitness #stabilisation #squats #strong #sport @liverpool.f.c @lfcwags
