1.
As
the elderly age, they typically lose the proper
S-shape spinal posture to become more humped
over as in the characteristic C-shape posture.
2.
In
physical contact sports, like football, the
S-shape posture will have more overall success
than other spinal postures because mechanically
it will possess the best mechanical advantage.
3.
It does not matter what kind of exercise equipment
you get, or which exercises you perform, as
long as you are building muscle is what counts
most to getting strong and developing athletic
ability.
4.
Youth
sports training programs need competent people
that understand the spinal maturation process.
5.
When
suffering an injury to the spine, receiving
proper resolution of injury requires addressing
the restoration of proper spinal structure and
function.
6.
A
strength and conditioning coach that participates
in youth training and has an understanding of
spinal architecture is concerned with proper
spinal structure and function.
7.
A
competent youth sports program should have access
not only to good coaches that can teach fundamentals
of a sport, but also professionals in athletic
training and strength and conditioning.
8.
Youth
sports training should not include exercises
that promote the proper adult S-shaped spinal
posture.
9.
It
is important for youth sports to have screening
procedures to identify the individuals that
potentially have poor spinal development.
10.
Proper
spinal structural development should not be
an important consideration in youth sports programs.
11.
In
a movement involving the spine, mechanical advantage
is a method of determining the amount of effort
required, forces created and anatomical parts
involved.
12.
When
shear forces are created at a joint they typically
don’t have to be stabilized by some mechanism.
13.
Typically
spinal muscles like the multifidus and the interspinalis
are grouped together as extensor muscles of
the spine; however the study of biomechanics
would require examining each muscles direction
of pull to evaluate its true impact on a movement.
14.
Understanding
lever systems is an important part of spinal
biomechanics.
15.
Understanding
Spinal Fitness concepts is important for those
who are involved with the restoration or improvement
of a human’s physical abilities.
