It is very important that anybody looking to drop weight and get well includes a good exercise program to broaden their weight loss and to make better general health - nevertheless many people new to exercise can be at threat of damage if the exercises picked are not vitally safe.
The hypothesis of "safe or treacherous exercises" is a familiar aspect of dialogue among industry experts and in many cases there are a lot of grey areas. It is imperative to realise that an exercise that is considered harmless for one participant may be possibly hazardous for another - as these things should be taken into consideration:
a) The training age of the participant - ie what degree of experience does the person have in exercise - a first grade footballer with 10 years of preparation behind them can safe and sound accomplish more intricate and taxing exercises than a virtual beginner.
b) The level of pre exercise test - a comprehensive physical pre screening will allow for the identification of personal restrictions and concerns that could bring about injury if the program is not modified to allow for this deviation.
c) Past Damage - there is no doubt that the biggest single predictor of injury in the health and wellness industry is the existence of a "past damage" - even if the initial injury was 5 - 10 years ago.
d) The degree of direction - it is normally feasible for a participant to execute more intricate exercises when personally directed - as any errors in method are rectified early and harm possibility is lowered.
However, I still think that there are numerous more or less simple signs that need to perform to assist participants to identify those movements that may be considered "likely precarious" or "useless" in the majority of health and fitness programs.
1. Does the exercise put the joint at an extreme (and usually wobbly) end of range position?
2. Does the exercise have the weight at 90 degrees to the long axis of the bone?
3. Does the exercise place the body in a position not reproduced in everyday work or life?
As mentioned the aspect of "safe V's treacherous" is a rather grey area and open to much discussion on the other hand if you pursue the general advice I have delivered in this article you will be well on your way to safe and effectual exercises - if you are in any doubt over the safety of an exercise ask your trainer, gym instructor or Physiotherapist.
