Neuroathletic training

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neuro Athletiktraining (English Neuro Athletic Training ) refers to the evolution of the classic athletic training by the brain and the nervous system are involved as key elements of the movement control in training.

History of origin

Neuro Athletic Training goes back to the disciplines of athletic training and neuroscience . The term refers to the further development of biomechanically controlled and defined athletic training through components of movement control by the nervous system. In the early 2000s, the athletic trainer Eric Cobb began to develop a neuroscientific education system for trainers and therapists. The aim of his Z-Health Performance Education System was to integrate the movement-controlling systems into classic athletic training, which until now had been controlled and designed purely biomechanically .

Cobb combined findings from neuroscience and the common practice of therapy and athletic training in one training system. Knowledge from science flowed into this, such as B. from the Carrick Institute. Cobb's teaching concept relates to five core areas: Body Composition Change, Pain Relief (relief from pain), Performance Enhancement (improvement of performance), Injury Prevention (prevention of injuries) and Motivation and Habit Change (motivation and change of habits ). His training concept includes a holistic view of the developing body and regards each person as an athlete. The “9S model” is built around this: According to this, a person needs strength, sustenance, skill, suppleness, stamina, structure, spirit, style and speed in order to become a complete athlete.

Development in the German-speaking area

Sports scientist Lars Lienhard and Martin Weddemann have been using neuroathletic training in top-class sport since 2010. Lars Lienhard was part of the support team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Neuroathletic training was used by Swiss and German winter athletes, and also by some of the German athletes during the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro . Since 2012, some football professionals from the Bundesliga and Premier League have also been using this training philosophy.

After the German 100-meter sprinter Gina Lückenkemper ran under 11 seconds at the World Athletics Championships in London, she commented on her neuroathletics training with coach Lars Lienhard. Part of their training is to accelerate neural plasticity by applying short bursts of current from a 9V battery to the tongue.

Scientific criticism

So far, the effectiveness of neuroathletic training has not been proven by an international scientific publication . Therefore, the method is viewed critically by scientists and science-based practitioners. In addition, the transfer of non-soccer-specific exercises used in neuroathletic training to soccer-specific skills on the pitch has not been scientifically proven. As with commercial cognitive training tools, such a cognition transfer is not considered realistic in scientific psychology . It is therefore not certain whether neuroathletic training actually improves footballing skills or whether trained players are subject to a placebo effect.
