Movement
Training Systems is unique in the world of athletic development. Its design,
philosophies, approach, experience and application are cutting edge and
unlike the typical program.
Having worked with
many college athletic
programs, the developers believed there had to be a more productive way to
develop athletic ability than the methods available. After years of research
and development, they created a system that is based on training the
athletic components that directly effect performance. The system is designed
to teach the muscle system to respond in the same synchronized effort
required for the body to achieve athletic movement.
Effcient movement
is the common requirement
of every sport, and teaching the body to create efficient movement is the
basis for improving balance, coordination, timing, quickness, explosion and
speed. Improving these athletic components allows an athlete to excell in
the use of specific skills.

Performance with compensation equates to settling for second best. Often, lack of development in fundamental balance, stability and positioning mechanics results in the use of compensation throughout the body. In the area of performance, compensation, then takes the place of efficiency because the body must adjust each times it moves.
Instead, by eliminating compensations, the body is always in correct position to move, and the athlete is able to maximize power and quickness. In addition, utilization of the correct muscle systems at the correct time prevents injury.
Compensation vary from one athlete to another. They are based on weakness, or lack of function, in one area that diverts axtion to another to create a position or movement. The best athletes tend to be the best compensators. They are able to "get the job done", in spite of their weaknesses, by recruiting the use of other muscle systems as substitution for the weaker systems. The problem with this lies in the fact that optimal performance requires the body to be balanced, stable, and react with perfect synchronization of muscle action.
Elminating compensation is the first step to improving performance.
