1.
All
children begin life with the proper S-shape
spinal posture.
2.
When
understanding the physical ability of the spine
to perform physical activity, determining the
mechanical advantage is a better tool than determining
the force of effort.
3.
A major physical ability that the proper S-shape
spine demonstrates is the ability to move against
an anterior force of resistance using a series
of 1st class levers.
4.
Moving
against a resistance from the posterior direction
of the proper S-shape posture demonstrates good
mechanical advantage.
5.
This
course considers the developmental process of
the adult S-shape posture to be an eighteen
year long process.
6.
The
main consideration in Spinal Fitness training
for elite athletic ability is to hypertrophy
muscles of effort rather than train for the
S-shape spinal posture.
7.
The
main consideration in Spinal Fitness is not
training for the S-shape spinal posture to improve
the strength of the spine for athletic endeavors,
but to perform exercises to hypertrophy the
posterior spinal muscles (interspinalis, multifidus).
8.
Whenever
treating a spinal injury, consideration should
be given to the ultimate resolution of injury
which includes restoring and preserving the
S-shape spinal posture.
9.
As
a general rule, Spinal Fitness recommends avoiding
any exercises that place the spine at a poor
mechanical advantage.
10.
When
performing a sit up exercise, the C-shape spinal
posture can demonstrate a series of simpler
more stable lever systems against a force of
resistance than the proper S-shape spine.
11.
The
adaptation of the infant C-shape spine into
the adult S-shape spine always takes place;
therefore the child does not need management
that will promote the adaptation of the proper
S-shape.
12.
Youth
sports programs that have access to professional
strength and conditioning coaching and athletic
trainers would be more competent than those
who don’t.
13.
Although
the parent may have the most concern for the
welfare and success of their youth athlete,
they probably possess very little professional
knowledge that directly leads to their child’s
success.
14.
Strength
and conditioning professionals that understand
Spinal Fitness are typically going to understand
the concept of quality training and the necessary
spinal structure the athlete must have to excel
in sports.
15.
In
a 1st class lever system, any shear forces present
will be in the direction of the line of force
of effort.
