A little about isometric gymnastics
The word "statics" is translated from Greek as "balance". Isometric means constant distance. Exercises, the essence of which is muscle tension, in which there is no direct movement of the human body, are called static, or isometric. What is their feature? A strong contraction of a muscle is characterized exclusively by its tension, in contrast to isotonic ones, during which its length changes with tension.
Performing such exercisescharacterized by numerous positive aspects. They are completely affordable, as they do not require special equipment and equipment. The risk of injury is practically reduced to zero. Isometric gymnastics improves a person's ability to relax, increases his flexibility, activates the body's metabolic processes, and helps fight inevitable stress. It is actively used in professional sports, he alth fitness and physiotherapy exercises.
Gymnastics by Igor Borshchenko
We hear all the time about the benefits and necessity of strengthening the spine. Doctors tell us about this, they are echoed by the hosts of thematic he alth programs. Most people agree that good he alth is impossible without physical activity. Vertebrologist Igor Borshchenko has developed a whole system of exercises, the purpose of which is precisely to improve such a vulnerable structure - the human vertebral system. Why are isometric exercises taken as the basis?
The fact is that they are based on strong muscle tension in the absence of movement. Such gymnastics is gentle on the joints, preventing abrasion of the articular cartilage and the development of arthrosis. In most of these exercises, the contraction phase is completed by the stretch phase. This sequence of them helps to relax the involved muscles, relieve their spasms, and also has a significant analgesic effect. It is especially important that such exercises will have an impact on a specific muscle: exactly the one that needs to be trained andrelax with a specific pathology of each person.
Benefits of isometric exercise
Back and lower back pain is one of the most common reasons for visiting a doctor. This is not surprising, because these parts of the spinal column have a load from body weight, which is sometimes impressive. The lumbar region also suffers from inactive sedentary activities, and, on the contrary, from hard work. The course of static exercises developed by Igor Borshchenko allows you to quickly and cost-effectively get rid of debilitating pain, restore joint mobility, and freedom of movement.
Simply physical actions do not require good athletic training. For proper execution, it is enough just to freeze in a given position for a certain time. This strengthens not only muscle fibers, but also joint capsules. And this ensures the disappearance of excruciating pains, also preventing their occurrence in the future. Gymnastics is suitable for sedentary and elderly people, including those who have undergone surgical treatment.
Features of therapeutic exercises
Books written by Igor Borshchenko have gained wide popularity. "Smart spine, exercise system" - this work describes a set of special events that are used to strengthen and train the astronauts' muscular corset. The following pattern has long been noticed: a muscle that has been tensed for a while immediately stretches much easier after that.
This phenomenon is actively used inisometric gymnastics to relieve spasms and get rid of chronic pain. When performing exercises, there is a slight increase in pressure: intrathoracic and intracranial. To make this rise insignificant, you should breathe freely, without holding your breath. So you will ensure yourself a comfortable state during classes and avoid unnecessary complications.
Who shows isometric gymnastics?
Borschenko Igor has developed quite accessible and simple gymnastics for everyone. It is suitable for people suffering from pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. It is indispensable for patients who have received a spinal injury or undergone surgical procedures. A complex of static exercises significantly improves the condition of patients complaining of constant pain in the arms, legs, back and lower back.
