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