Brain Activation via Water Bag Runs
- Using unusual challenges like water bag runs activates the brain and muscles, enhancing performance temporarily.
- This activation can peak, but integration with drills like the goat drill can maintain muscle engagement.
Muscle Activation vs Coordination
- Activation doesn't mean muscles turn on more; coordinated activation may reduce overall activation but increase strength.
- Efficient muscle relaxation allows better power production and prevents chronic tension.
Elite Fluidity Through Relaxation
- Elite athletes excel by relaxing muscles quickly, enabling fluid and powerful movement.
- Fluidity combines fast muscle relaxation and coordinated antagonist muscle activation to reduce drag and improve efficiency.
