Athletics and Sports
Activities
In competition, the difference between victory and
defeat is often very small. If you are an athlete or
participate in athletic or sports activities, then your
priority is maximizing the talent that you have. The Learning
Breakthrough Program is an incredible tool that gives users a
critical edge.
There are certain characteristics that all
successful athletes have: the ability to evaluate information
and make the right decision quickly, excellent balance and
control of their bodies, good timing, the ability to execute
quick, precise movements, and excellent peripheral vision. All
of these processes are dependent upon proprioception.
Proprioception can be defined as the awareness of movement and
body position. It is sometimes also defined as the body's
joint positioning system. Effective proprioceptive processes
are dependant upon the ability of the brain to integrate
information from all of the sensory systems including feedback
from muscles and joints, vision, the tactile sense
(touch/pressure), and the sense of balance or vestibular
system.
The Learning Breakthrough Program can
stimulate sensory integration, spatial awareness, and the
sense of balance. These tools not only help you to gain the
edge necessary for success, proprioceptive training also
reduces the incidence of ankle sprain.. A study of Italian
soccer players1 found that proprioceptive training that
included balance stimulation reduced injuries by 87%, from
1.15 injuries per team in the control group to .15 injuries
per team among those who had received training.
The difference between a good athlete and a
great athlete is often quite small. But small improvements in
performance often require huge improvements in brain
efficiency. The activities that athletes engage in require the
brain to develop highly complicated and efficient neural
networks. For example, if a person throws a ball to a target
at four meters distance, the release window for the ball
leaving the hand is eleven one thousandths of a second. If the
same target is moved to eight meters distance the release
window decreases to ¼ of one thousandth of a second. The brain
requires 64 times as many neurons to fire at precisely the
right time to hit the target at eight meters as it does at
four meters. It becomes immediately apparent that in order for
an athlete to perform at higher levels, he or she must be able
to develop increasingly larger and more efficient neural
networks. The question is: how can an athlete improve the
neural efficiency of the brain?
The difficulty level of The Learning
Breakthrough Program can be adjusted to challenge any athlete.
By increasing the difficulty level of the activities, the
brain is forced to develop more advanced, efficient neural
networks. As neural efficiency improves, performance
increases.
The Learning Breakthrough Program offers you
a new way to maximize your own performance or the performance
of your team. It will help you to play smarter, reduce
injuries, and improve efficiency.
