    Study Notes

    Movement Starts and Ends

    • Good positioning cannot be reclaimed once a movement has begun, or entered the "tunnel of load"
    • Starting position and ending position are the most important, middle movement is less important

    Tunnel of Load

    • Entering the tunnel of load is like entering a specific movement phase
    • Once you enter the tunnel, your position at the start determines your position at the finish
    • If you start in a bad position, you cannot correct it during the movement

    Prime Movers

    • The shoulder and hip are the primary movers in many athletic movements
    • The goal of many sports is to create effective hip extension

    One Joint Rule

    • The body can be viewed as having one hip and one shoulder joint
    • This simplifies movement analysis by focusing on stability and ideal hip motion
    • Introducing spinal flexion or extension (breaking neutral) creates multiple "virtual joints", making movement control more difficult
    • Spinal deviations also cause "force bleed" (loss of power)

    Importance of Neutral Spine

    • Maintaining a neutral spine creates a stable platform for the shoulder and allows for efficient power generation
    • Breaking neutral leads to internal rotation of the shoulder and a loss of control
    • The body can be viewed as a rigid, stable structure with a consistent joint on both sides
