The property of viscoelasticity changes that allow your feet, calf, glutes and core to be more connected. Viscoelasticity change explains why people have morphed feet. The foot acts as the neurological catalyst to remodel the viscosity of fascia so that the function determines the form. Following the form without the function won’t get us any superior result.
Muscle doesn’t mature until 20-30s. Fascia is what allows teenagers to dunk and younger soccer players to excel at the highest level. Mainstream overlook this aspect and continue to ask kids to break their natural development stages. i.e. By adding too much muscle in their fascia development stages.
The lower extremities are designed in a way to leverage fascia and tendon systems more than bulky skeleton-muscular system.
The spectrum or levels of athleticism is from muscle driven, quad dominant to all the fascia driven and glutes dominant. Any individual or athlete could fall in between this athletic fascia spectrum and display different movement patterns. So copying someone else’ outside form would be a futile attempt to replicate athletic success of superior athletes, the result would be temporary and compensatory, this could create more problems.
When your ankle moves because it’s not locked enough with fascial and isometric tension. Your muscle will be contracted more. Especially your calf, you have to force it to lock so that it knows to use fascia to bounce you. This is the core concept for beginner level training because your body will use muscle and favor muscle more over fascia.
When your foot is strong enough, your arch will and ankle collapses much less but most people will collapse in the arch and ankle because the fascia tension is not there to support it. So they dorsiflex and heel strike.
Myofascial force transmission. Conventionally, skeletal muscles have been considered as primarily transmitting force to their osseous insertions through the myotendinous junction. However in situ experiments of animals and imaging studies in humans have shown that intermuscular and extra muscular fascial tissues serve as pathway for force transmission.
Big vs. Small. Quad dominance vs. Glutes Dominance. Segmented vs. Holistic. That’s the duality nature of the human body. Our current notion of training relies on the understanding that big muscle is better than small muscle. Big equates to strong and small or regular equate to weak.
Quad dominance vs. Glutes Dominance. it’s known to sports scientist that elite athletes are glutes dominant however how to convert someone who is quad dominant to glutes dominant was not understood before. We were simply asking the wrong questions and we thought we knew the answers so we stopped looking for it. Why western training does not address fascia currently is directly related to the method of exploring the human body through dissection. Doctors disregarded fascia to study muscle. Fascia was treated as nuisance and hindrance to muscle and was tossed away. Eastern martial arts such as Taiji emphasizes on fascia and the web training in slow movements.
Fascia is the string of your internal tensegrity model. The bone is the strut. It requires proper organization and strength to be fully functional.
