  1. The Road to Complete Fitness A Quick Guide to Strength & Conditioning

  2. Introduction • Living in a city, we get used to a sedentary lifestyle making us lethargic and vulnerable to a host of lifestyle diseases. • This is where fitness experts come in the picture • They can suggest and implement sports conditioning techniques, which builds the body's muscular strength and immune system. • It is also crucial in building an athlete’s physique and keep them in optimal shape so they can give their best at whatever sport they pursue. • Let’s take a look at the various aspects or rather workouts that are involved in strength conditioning:

  3. Muscle Testing

  4. Muscle testing or manual muscle testing (MMT) is a procedure carried out by physiotherapists to evaluate muscle strength. • It is mostly carried out to find any apparent weaknesses in a muscle, as compared to other normal muscles. • The results will be a handy diagnosis tool to determine the correct treatment required and will form the basis of all the sessions conducted.

  5. Return To Sport Rehabilitation

  6. An injury is an athlete’s worst nightmare, as it seriously hampers his skill and effort into their sport of choice, or can force them to stop playing altogether. • However, physiotherapy can help quell these fears and guide the athlete towards a faster recovery, after a surgical procedure or after a conservative rest period. • One of the most common afflictions, return to sport rehabilitation is recommended for is Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction.

  7. Barefoot Training

  8. Though there are many shoes available in the market that can help an athlete, especially a runner, perform better, barefoot training has its own benefits. • Firstly, training barefoot strengthens your feet, and can help you run faster, jump higher, and lift more weight. • It helps in better muscle activation. • It also improves proprioception which  is our unconscious perception of space and our orientation and movement within the space around us. • It will also give you overall healthier feet, as shoes often lead to bunions, corns, athlete’s foot, hammer toes, ingrown toe nails and fallen arches.
