Hello everyone in lets train functionally land. Here above is a video showing how wonderful the foot is and the base for all movement
The foot as I mentioned in another blog has 33 joints, 26 bones, 24 muscles 2 sesamoid bones
All movements of the foot and lower extremity evolve within a three dimensional environment. To fully appreciate the actions of the foot, ankle, leg and hip, our movement must be understood if you want too train functionally
Universal to all motion is:
All movements are tri-plane.
All integrated motion involves multi-joint actions.
Effective actions must first undergo deceleration (force reduction), stabilization and then acceleration (force production).
The body reacts to ground reaction forces.
We can break the foot into 3 regions – rear, mid and fore foot
Rear foot – looking at the foot from side think of the big heel bone (calcaneus) as a bicycle the talus the rider who sits on top of the bicycle
Mid foot – reacts to what goes on with rear foot
Fore foot – has it’s own action which reacts to what happens with rear and mid foot
So it makes sense that your foot needs to know what is going on if you cushion the sole with a cushion then you get the cushion effect which if you have ever stood on a cushion can be a bit unstable. If you are running and hit the ground with a rubber bouncy effect lots of the wrong messages get sent up the chain your body if you must wear trainers go for the cheap ones and if you are starting to wear bare foots here is a bit of advice start wearing them for an hour at a time and build that time up so your foot muscles can adapt to the change and when you start running in them of bare foot apply the same method as this will lead to less fatigue in the foot. enjoy!
