Lecture 1-C

Co-ordinative Training for Total Health

 

Abstract:

Specialization in youth sports has generated significant attention in recent years. Although it provides advantages to developing athleticism in early ages, it could increase the risk of injuries and give deleterious impact on health among promising youths. To that end, IOC warns the risk of early specialization and recommends multi-sport participation. 

Co-ordinative training, developed by Eastern Germany, has long been used by elite athletes. The development of motor skills through proper neuromuscular co-ordination provides a fundamental basis in improving athletic movements, which allows to maximize the athletic ability of youth athletes. In recent years, co-ordinative training is applied to the elderly population to improve their body function and prevent falls.

This seminar will discuss a various application of co-ordinative training and how it may be used to promote “total health”
