Scientific Principles to Consider with Use of Flex Disc<br />
Introduction<br />
Ground-based exercise is the root of our primitive movement pattern foundation.<br />
We all began our existence in a crib on our back and progressing to our stomach and<br />
then onto our hands and knees followed by kneeling, standing, walking, running and<br />
jumping. The Flex Disc® functional training tool allows for transitional postures to have<br />
a different level of ground reaction force response and reactive neuromuscular<br />
facilitation. This allows us to progress program designed to a next level of refining<br />
performance and expediting rehabilitation.<br />
It is imperative to have a clear understanding of the energy systems, myofascial slings<br />
and biomechanical needs to optimize the training adaptations with the Flex Disc<br />
functional training tool. A brief review of the aforementioned essential knowledge<br />
set up the program design suggested within this manual.<br />
