Effect of Stretch Frequency and Sex on the Rate and Gain and Rate of Loss in Muscle Flexibility During a Hamstring Stretching Program: A Randomized Single-Blind Longitudinal Study. Schleip, R. Fascial Plasticity: A New Neurobiological Explanation: Part 1. flexibility changes in a gymnast. Kinetic Anatomy. In this setting, we are looking to ramp down the body and assist in recovery (known as facilitating parasympathetic tone). By the end of a few months, they usually just throw their hands up and say he/she is just unflexible, they have bad genetics. We must always remember that the structures that have the most opportunity for improvement, the active structures, should be the focus of flexibility training. Much of the change in gymnastics to prevent these common injuries comes down to applying the research of anatomy as well as stretching and updated commonly used methods that may not fall in line with the literature. 2012 May;40(2):8793. doi: 10.3810/psm.2012.05.1968. Although research is conflicting, self soft tissue care as is seen with foam rolling and other tools may have a role in reducing perceived soreness and increasing blood flow to muscles. In Jeffreys I., Moody J. I hope that this guide can be a place for everyone in gymnastics to find some useful information without feeling so frustrated and overwhelmed. Tones and strengthen muscles Improves posture What About Static Stretching? Its not that we want to freak out every time someone is reporting discomfort in a split. This is why I now mainly approach flexibility in larger complexes. Thomas E., et al. Click here to read our full privacy policy. 1-13. Just as we must reverse engineer each of these technical issues to why a gymnast is unable to make a giant over, we must take the same approach to flexibility training. Here are 8 gymnastics exercises that will help improve your flexibility: Pike stretch The pike stretch is great for improving your upper body flexibility. There is a much better way that is safer and has valid science behind it for support. Its very important to remember that certain joints are not inherently built for lots of flexibility. Elastic band kick drills, needle kicks, PNF techniques I want to emphasize that proper stretching and soft tissue work is not the only method to improve flexibility and performance for gymnasts. Self-soft tissue work refers to using foam rollers, lacrosse balls, tennis balls, or other implements to help massage different muscular areas of the body. This is where things start to get important. Between coaching, treating, and consulting in gymnastics around the world, offering advice on flexibility has become a staple in my work. Now after saying that over split training is not inherently dangerous or going to create injury automatically, we all must realize there are severe consequences for not approaching split flexibility correctly. Many gymnasts with stiff hips could benefit from a bit less squatting and jumping, and repace those exercises with glute and hamstring work. You may remember the shoulder joint has a very shallow socket, which allows for lots of motion but then creates a situation where stability is needed. Clinics in Sports Medicine July 2016Volume 35, Issue 3, Pages 435-447, Weber, et al. Lastly, I have made a Gymnastics Pre-Hab Guide that includes daily soft tissue work, stretching, and weekly circuits to help with reducing the risk of injuries in gymnasts. This allows for more inherent weight-bearing stability but may limit the natural mobility the hip can achieve. I strongly feel that gymnasts must earn the right to do over splits and must be mature enough to do them safely. It alsomay impact their ability to control landings and tumble leading to decreased performance. Healey KC, et al. There are many possible reasons for why a gymnast can or cannot move their hips into a full split position or move their shoulders overhead into a full handstand position. 132 146, Sands WA, McNeal J. A rolled ankle or inversion sprain is definitely among the most common for gymnasts. However, this requires very specialized medical training and must be performed by a healthcare provider who is competent. This can also happen withhip extendingmovements (think backleg kick or leap) as the back of the femur bone makes contact with the back and outsideof the pelvis (impingement) and then the contact acts as a fulcrum for thefemoral head toslide out the frontof the hip joint (instability). Its my opinion that the sport of gymnastics has yet to use a systematic, individualized, science-based system to flexibility methods in training. As mentioned we have to be cautious not to overtax their already hypermobile hip capsules and ligaments during flexibility training. Alongside this, there is a lot of confusion or misunderstandings about what happens when gymnasts stretch, why it helps increase range of motion, how much stretching is suggested as beneficial to improve flexibility, and how to make changes show up in skills. Within a few days of modification, advice from a qualified medical provider, and time to heal, issues may resolve quickly. The capsule resembles a balloon-type structure that completely surrounds the shoulder joint and serves as a thickened blending of ligaments. This screen measures hypermobility through looking at elbow hyperextension, knee hyperextension, the ability to touch the floor in a pike stretch, hyperextension of the pinky, and hyperextension of the thumb. The researchers proposed that the change in the range of motion may have primarily come from increased tolerance to the discomfort of nerve fibers that detect stretch pain, as the fibers were becoming more desensitized. The twenty-five individuals in the experimental group stretched their calves in a standard protocol four sets of thirty-second calf stretches to the point of tolerable discomfort, five days per week, for six weeks. Like in the shoulder, natural mobility of the hip allows them to move through a greater motion. A blind approach to gymnastics flexibility training can cause serious hip injuries as the current medical research field has demonstrated. It is common to see many gymnastics strength programs that train a high volume of pull-ups, leg lifts, rope climbs, and push-ups. If the ligaments and joint capsules are already hypermobile, and have trouble dealing with high force, and then we add more laxity to them over time, we are likely asking for disaster regarding instability- based shoulder and hip injuries. Zollner AM., et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am, 2013 Sep 18; 95 (18): e133, Dumount GD. Readers are encouraged to only operate within their scope of practice. (10), In another study by Konrad (10), twenty-five adult individuals were compared to twenty-four adult individuals in a control group to see if a six-week calf stretching program would. I have found that many of the traditional general stretches we use as go to methods for increasing flexibility do not have proper assessments preceding them or may not have anatomical considerations in mind. Surgical tubing also works, but again the tubing needs to be quite stiff. But, the timiing protocols for these studies were insanely more than and human does, so its likely not the main case for increases in muscle length. Clin Sports Med 30 (2011) 349-367. I would suggest that these very mobileof gymnasts need more work learning to control the motion they have both with basic movements and with complex movements that involve higher forces and fast reaction times. Routledge: New York. Active Flexibility in New Range of Motion and Eccentrics I feel to see a notable lasting change in the range of motion that shows up in gymnastics skills, we have to approach the entire movement system with our mobility work, and not just aim to improve the range of motion seen. As far as specific flexibility circuits, those I feel are the best times to truly make positive increases in joint flexibility. It should be considered to be a skill with many pieces that must be broken down to achieve success. *Readers Note This gymnastics flexibility guide is a very long and in-depth blog post. Pictures 2 and 3 are showing a dynamic chest stretch over a foam roller where the shoulder blades are held down/ in while the arms slide on the floor from overhead to hip. It can be accomplished through an addition by subtraction type approach of using an alternative exercise or changing the alignment of certain common gymnastics stretches. Gymnasts should focus on maximizing wrist and shoulder flexibility, as well as doing lots of physical preparation work to strengthen the elbows. 2014. These common active structures limiting overhead shoulder flexibility we want to focus on making more mobile. These cases are much less frequent in gymnastics but do exist. I think this is especially true in those with natural hyperflexiblehip joints who are not fully developed andlack hip strength. Konrad A, Tip M. Increased range of motion after static stretching is not due to changes in muscle and tendon structures. Scand J Med Sci Sports. Examples of gymnastics skills that require dynamic flexibility are a walkover and a handspring. Instead of just jumping to pushing down the knees of gymnast to get better lines or fix bent knees, I strongly suggest that people take time to figure out why the gymnast has bent knees to start with. Sports Health. Stretching has been around for decades in gymnastics as well as other sports. However, there is a very fine line between reasonable discomfort and inflicting real pain. Using proper movement assessments, understanding the anatomy, and a consistency over intensity mindset is what will reduce injury risk and increase gymnastics performance. Philadelphia: Churchill Livingston. It does not look nearly as impressive of a motion, but it is very specific to the goal we are trying to achieve of affecting the active structures while minimizing excessive stress on the passive structures. While on this note, there are a few stretches that really need to be advised against in gymnastics. Foam rolling as a recovery tool after an intense bout of physical activity. Handstands, beginner jumps or leaps, and introductory ring or parallel bar skills demand extreme mobility to execute. If gymnastics movements are performed properly, the J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 25(6):36479, 1997. I view it as a tool to open the door for gymnasts to then perform strength, technique, and control work for gymnastics skills. In the most basic sense, I dont think oversplits are inherently bad for gymnasts. I think the more accurate way to describe them is that over splits may be bad for a particular gymnast at that moment in time. For me, it takes a minimal amount of time and does not seem to have too many negative effects when correctly implemented. These gymnasts typically have natural flexibility but may struggle to build strength and power during training. From looking at self- myofascial release and manual therapy literature reviews, this is thought to be through changes in perceived soreness, neurological relaxation, and possibly blood flow / water content shifting within the muscle. 1) increase ankle range of motion and Sports Health: A Multidisciplinary Approach April 23, 2014, Shibata, K.R., Matsuda, S. & Safran, M.R. Ive been fortunate that now after learning from many people and textbooks, I really have a good handle on the concepts that seem to work, and those that dont really tend to make a big difference in the long term. This can happen statically for a period of time (static stretching), with the use of momentum and holding of end range (dynamic or active stretching), or sometimes with muscle contractions and stretching together (PNF or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation). The reality of the human body is that there are hundreds of factors related to anatomy that can influence a gymnasts level of flexibility. Meyers CA., et al. 2013l 8(5) 601 616, Hart E., et al. Nakamura M., et al. Despite our best efforts we may continue to see cast handstands that lack open shoulders, leaps that do not have larger angles, and parallel bar swings that lack a large front swing. The traditional model of gymnastics typically involves twenty to thirty-minute time periods where static stretches are held, active flexibility drills are done, or specific exercises are repeatedly done in high volume to gain range of motion. Tumbl Trak Athlete Wellness and Recovery Kit, Front splits, straddle splits, handstands and pommel horse/parallel bar flexibility, Downloadable checklists to use at practice, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4295707/, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6322373/, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945046/, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26944667, https://shiftmovementscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Book-Cover.jpg, The Ultimate Gymnastics Flexibility Guide, Tom Meadows on Developing Elite Male Gymnasts and His Best Coaching Advice, Helping Gymnastics Coaches Stay Happy In The Gym and Change Their Cultures. Rainman, Thornburg. In my mind, definitely not. Flexibility 5 Flexibility In addition to the strength/conditioning program, the coach must also provide training for the enhancement of flexibility. From there I will take a deep dive into some cultural issues that exist in gymnastics, and then conclude with step by step flexibility examples for each main region of the body that gymnasts struggle with including the shoulders, hips, ankles, and wrists. Atraumatic Hip Instability in Patients with Joint Hypermobility.Operative Techniques in Sports Medicine. I feel this approach not only makes more sense from a gymnastics technique point of view, but also incorporates a lot of current scientific research on flexibility, soft tissue work, and human movement. You can see a video of our entire warm up here. These gymnasts typically dont have to work on flexibility too much to achieve full splits. I suggest these to outline the complexity of the human body, in hopes that people are more cautious in some flexibility decisions they make. Remember, you can download the entire chapter on flexibility, the 10-minute flexibility guides, or the pre-hab guide here. There are many other important tools such as proper strength training, eccentrics, managing workloads, and regular mobility work that must be considered and used as well, as they are supported by research, Movement assessments are essential to seeing progress with flexibility, Screening, soft tissue care, stretching, strength work, eccentrics, and gymnastics specific drills should all be used in flexibility programs, Cutting edge soft tissue, strength, and active flexibility techniques for splits, handstands, and shapes, Practical traditional stretching methods combined with latest scientific research, Techniques for increasing flexibility, and making changes transfer to gymnastics skills, A reduction in the threshold of stretch reflexes within muscles, A reduction in the sensitivity of nerves that transmit signals of danger (nociceptors), A change within the brain related to perceived discomfort. The Relation Between Stretching Typology and Stretching Duration: The Effects on Range of Motion. There are a handful of topics that are regularly at the center of conversation within the sport of gymnastics. Attempting to apply one general stretching exercise that a naturally mobile gymnast showed in a presentation may cause some serious problems for such a gymnast. This said, I believe the majority of the effects of stretching come through neurological means. Due to these reasons and the research I have read about the human body, there will likely be a very limited long-term change in flexibility that change gymnastics skills. While some of it was helpful, I found that the majority of it was based on anecdotal evidence, and did not have a really solid grounding in the science of anatomy, physiology, medicine, or strength and conditioning. Shibata KR, Mastuda S, Safran MR. Is there a distinct pattern to the acetabular labrum andarticular cartilage damage in the non-dysplastic hip with instability? Through very sophisticated mathematical models, they did show evidence of, a mechanistic multiscale model for stretch-induced sarcomereogenesis, in which chronic muscle lengthening is characterized through a scalar valued internal variable, the serious sarcomere number.. Riboh JC, et al. the increased range of motion could not be explained by the structural changes in the muscle-tendon unit and was likely due to increased stretch tolerance possibly due to adaptation in nociceptive nerve endings.. Phys Ther. Register for the SHIFT Gymnastics Newsletter for Email Download Link. These structures and systems tend to have much more potential to change through training. Clin Biomech (Bristol, Avon). In this sport, training should be very constant since flexibility and coordination must be improved. I am not responsible or liable for any negative consequences that come from applying the ideas below. Long term changes that have minimal injury risk do not tend to come from short-term, high intensity and high force methods often seen in gymnastics. (Image credit: Unknown) Sit on the floor with straight legs at about 90 apart. They concluded, that both Hold Relax Stretching and Static Stretching can increase end range of motion, which may be because of the decreases in muscle stiffness and modified stretch tolerance during the stretch application. It also stretches your hamstrings. They also tend to have excessively mobile hip capsules, similar to the shoulder. (17) Adjunctive radiographic X-Rays or advanced medical imaging can also be helpful to see a boney congruency. The biggest concern I have withthe use of ankle weights is related to two concepts ofhipimpingement and hip instability. The athletes with naturally lax ligaments allow them to get into specific ranges of motion needed for even the most basic gymnastics skills. Strength and Conditioning for Sports Performance. PLOS, 2012, 7(10): 1-10, Kubo K., Kanehisa H., Fukunaga, T. Effect of stretching training on the viscoelastic properties of human tendon stiffness in vivo. As I did with the shoulder section, here are three graphics that walkthrough. I will get a bit nerdy outlining the mechanisms, but then I will offer a practical application type summary for people to apply in training. (18, 38-40) I do think its an important distinction, but due to cultural norms for gymnastics, I will not be super specific to go by medical jargon like these terms and more. Department of Exercise and Sport Science University of Utah Most gymnastics coaches would agree that flexibility is an essential aspect of gymnastics training and performance. The bones themselves, and the shape/fit of these bones is often referred to as the first layer of the shoulder joint. Jumping and landing athletes are already at a huge risk for ACL tears, not to mention the even higher risk for young developing female athletes. Ben M., Harvey LA. Due to this, they may not be biasing the proper muscular tissue intended and as a result may show limited effectiveness. The hip stretch routine below is a sequence of exercises designed to help you overcome the most common restrictions so that you can start moving the way you want and need to. J Bodyw Mov Ther. These issues are commonly overlooked as culprits to why a gymnast struggles in this area of gymnastics. I urge people to not automatically push splits or pull shoulders open when they see a gymnast with limited range of motion. 389 398, Sands WA, McNeal J. Mobility Development and flexibility in youths. Similar to that point, I would also be very careful about how much pressure the front knee of oversplits is taking, and if you use them try to have the gymnast move their front leg up on the mat more. This creates a huge range of mobility for the shoulder joint, but in exchange for inherently less stability. Each comprehensive PDF is a step by step guide of the exact passive and active flexibility, strength, balance, and gymnastics specific PreHab exercises used by Dr. Dave Tilley with 1000s of gymnasts across the world. Other researchers combat these ideas and say that effects locally in the muscle like water hydration levels, changes in the viscoelasticity of muscles, and even interesting ideas down to stem cell changes within tendinous structures may be factors. Gymnastics is, therefore, a sports discipline that seeks to provide strength and flexibility to the body, through specific exercise routines. The anatomy and theory, as well as some of the joint based material for this blog are taken from that chapter. Hip Arhtroscopy and Hip Joint Preservation Surgery. In my experience, excessive force, excessive duration, and the incorrect placement of a foam roller or stick massager can have opposite effects. Hipinstabilityrefers tothe hip moving into to those same endranges of motion without strength/control, causing the head of the femur to partially slide out of the hip socket. This means the hip bone was slightly migrating out of the hip socket to reach such large ranges of motion. Keywords: gymnastics, stretching exercises, flexibility, balance 1. 2009. I will talk more specifically about oversplits below, but I feel that the lack of education around this topic is why so many people are using aggressive methods. Routledge: New York. Doing a high volume of these movements may create ongoing stiffness in these areas, and as a result further contribute to the persistent loss of overhead mobility. flexibility exercises designed to enhance split flexibility. Frequently the complex research available suggests some minor changes during training. Given the material I have read, this has been my main thought process as well. Microinstability of the Shoulder in the Overhead Athlete. (41-42, 44-45). With this said, lets review some basic anatomy.
