Neuromotor Exercise Training

WHAT IS NEUROMOTOR EXERCISE TRAINING?

Neuromotor exercise training incorporates a variety of motor skills, including: • Balance • Coordination • Gait • Agility • Proprioceptive training Exercise classes in disciplines such as tai chi and yoga already use neuromotor exercise training in combination with resistance exercise and flexibility.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD THIS TRAINING BE UNDERTAKEN?

We recommend clients should carry out neuromotor exercise training 1 to 2 times per week. Please note: you may already be getting these benefits in other forms of trinining.

THE BENEFITS OF NEUROMOTOR EXERCISE TRAINING

The better your neuromotor conditioning, the more likely you are going to be able to correct yourself should you slip or lose your balance. This is beneficial for preventing falls and injuries at any age, but especially for the older population. Neuromotor exercise training is also of great benefit to athletes and sports people competing at any level, as improved agility, balance, proprioception and other motor skills can significantly help performance. It can also make training more interesting and challenging. Clients can benefit from including neuromotor exercises in their gym programmes alongside cardiovascular, resistance and flexibility exercises.

 

HOW TO IMPROVE BALANCE

Iimproving balance can be accomplished by challenging the nervous system’s control of posture and equilibrium. This can be done by: • Reducing the body’s support base, for example standing with both feet together or on one leg; • Displacing the body’s centre of mass, for example standing on a mini see-saw or stepping over an obstacle; • Limiting or removing visual or proprioceptive feedback, for example closing the eyes during an exercise. Once a client can comfortably carry out the more basic exercises, move to a more complex challenge, as long as the focus remains on the safety.

FALL PREVENTION FOR OLDER CLIENTS

Studies have shown that around a third of people over 65 will be affected by a fall.
