MOVEMENT TRAINING SYSTEMS

WELCOME TO MTS

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.

In order to move forward, we must first know where we are. Evaluation becomes our most valuable tool in the process of performance improvement.

We have established that eliminating compensation is job one. Accomplishing this requires determining the compensation patterens for each athlete. Through an evaluation process, we can learn strengths and weaknesses of the individual athlete, and structure the drills to cue changes for that particular athlete.

Many of the typical compensation can be seen in running. Therefore, evaluation of an athlete's running form is often where we begin.

Evaluating running form, we are looking at positioning of the feet, arms, upper body, hips, weight transfer during various phases of the run, foot timing action, and overall synchronization.

This evaluation tells us a lot about how the athlete uses his or hers hips in reaction to the upper body, how the feet function, how the upper body works with the arms, and which muscle system is used first to move and how the body reacts based on this.

Through this evaluation, we are able to determine where function is strong, and where it is locking and causing compensation. From this point we can make correction and begin improvement.
