#Relaxation is Power and tightness is the enemy of #Sprinting. But to attain relaxation, you must practise it. It's not attained as a by-product of hard training (which seems to be the driving myth at the moment). Incorporating relaxation into your sprinting must be incorporated into your sprinting drills. If you do not practise relaxation, you will allow hard training to solidify tightness which will compromise sprinting and endurance training. Running relaxed is generally a skill to be practised. The modern world and its pressures compromises an athlete's body and compromises an athlete's movement. Anxiety and stress causes tightness in an athletes sprinting and raises the chances of injury. It also shortens a sprinters stride and compromises power. For more on this, go to my website home page ( www.thegreatathletenexus.com ) to see a video of how negative and positive thought plays a part on flexibility and strength. So how do we incorporate relaxation into your training? Well , it starts with the arms. Be-Activated, the muscle activation method I use actually demonstrates how the arms can be the main driver for the hips. Once muscles in the hips switch off, then the workload gets passed up and down the body eventually to the extremities such as the arms and they become the main driver for the hips. This leads to the arms being overused and tight during physical exertion. Tight arms will also seep up into the jaw and face. All of this is wasted energy and will hamper your endurance. Endurance is as much about energy conservation in the body as it is to do with physical fitness training. So what every athlete needs to perfect is running at speed with relaxed shoulders. To do that, you simply make sure that you feel the weight of your hands as you run. When you stop feeling the weight of your hands as you run and you feel as if your arms moving through thin air, then your shoulders are too tight and you must slow down or stop.
This technique takes time to perfect but should be perfected by sprinters and distance runners alike. Relaxation exercises outside of training (like breathing) will most likely be needed. Relaxation must be treated as a habit and a habit is only solidified through repetition and practise.
