Optimal training is about co-contraction – the essence of creating stiffness. How fast you can run, how high you can jump… it all depends on your ability to create stiffness. When you create co-contractions through the fascia system, you create a mechanical composite.
What are mechanical composites? The fascia system helps to facilitate co-contraction of layers of muscles to create incredible amounts of stiffness for optimal power production.
This is EARTH SHATTERING for performance coaches and athletes. The rate of force production is the holy grail of sports performance. One of the keys to this is the ability to create a mechanical composite and co-contraction, facilitated through the nervous and fascia connective tissue system, which has 6-10x more proprioceptors than muscle.
