🇺🇸 As the PT/Movement coach for the athletes of @usashooting , I look closely at the postures, positions, and patterns these athletes spend most of their time in to be world class at their chosen discipline.
These movement patterns provide insight into understanding their strengths, weaknesses, and potential limiting factors…along with valuable information for when pain and/or injury arises.
Let’s take a look at Olympian @lucaskozusa and his rifle shooting position.
This posture, required to create maximal stability and stillness, recruits specific length-tension relationships in various structures like muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
🔍 I want to narrow down our scope to just his front leg:
🟢Supination of the foot generates an external rotation spiral patterns through the tibia and femur creating a “lock” in the front hip and pelvis.
🟢 His weight shift forward puts the surrounding hip musculature in a lengthened stretch position under tension.
🟢 As his pubic bone moves closer to his leg, the adductor group is in a shortened position
🟢 Lastly, as his trunk shifts back to counterbalance and maintain his eyes on the horizon, we see a an opening of the lumbar vertebrae and lengthening of the front side Quadratus Lumborum, psoas, and lower abdominals.
Over time, along with the amount of volume these athletes train in these positions, there could be some sensations of pain, tightness, and discomfort that creep in due to these sustained postures.
So, when it comes to helping the body feel ready to perform when it counts, it is prudent to provide him patterns and joint positions in a training program that compliments what he is already really good at doing and where his body is already strong.
🔑 Specificity is Key!
This helps keep the nervous system fresh, pain sensitivity low, and overall confidence high!
✅Check out these movement examples that might be included in a program designed for this particular athlete.
"It was very difficult. But I did it. I'm thankful."
Female athletes form the majority of medal-winners for India at the 2024 Paris Paralympics. They represented the country in track and field events, rifle shooting and pistol shooting. Here is what some of them had to say about their Paralympic experience.
The 2026 Winter Olympics are just weeks away, but Northeast Wisconsin trainers and enthusiasts remind us we don't have to be pro-level athletes to take part in the unique sports you watch on TV during the games.
In Brillion, the 200-acre Ariens Nordic Center is a hub for Nordic skiing.
Sean Becker, the Director of Sports Operations and Development at the facility, says trying out the sport is easier than you think.
He says the Ariens Nordic Center welcomes athletes of all skill levels.
The Ariens facility also serves as a training site for the US Biathlon team. Biathlon is a step up in terms of difficulty compared to Nordic skiing, as it combines cross-country skiing with rifle shooting.
Next year’s Olympic Games fall at the same time as the biathlon Masters National Championships in Brillion, so the Ariens facility is hosting watch parties for live events on-site and televised Olympic events, too.
Becker says their lesson specialist is ready to teach, as events like these bring a pique in interest.
The same is true for the Green Bay Curling Club.
The club has been around for decades and always sees more interest when the Winter Olympics roll around.
The premise of the sport is to score more points than your opponents by having your team’s stones closer to the center of the target.
Club members like Josh Heimerl will explain the basics of the sport at their week-long post-Olympic learn-to-curl events.
Heimerl says the events fill up every Olympic cycle, and they're open to everyone.
The Green Bay Curling Club and the Ariens Nordic Center also say you don't even need gear to get started because they've got you covered with rental gear.
As the games approach, they're ready to welcome you.
