PPW (parametric physical work)

    Traditional training methods take into consideration important parameters such as load, le repetitions or repetitions, time, la , distance, ecc… Un parametro importantissimo e spesso trascurato, รจ la SPEEDOF EXECUTION OF THE GESTURE INCLUDING ACCELERATIONS.

    The PPW method, while taking into account all the parameters listed above, is fundamentally based on NEUROMUSCULAR CONTROL..

    Force seen as a physical quantity is the product of mass and acceleration but, contextualized in motor sciences, it completely loses its value if the voluntary control of the central nervous system (CNS) is not the basis of this movement.

    What would be the point of having a 600 HP Ferrari but not having an accelerator capable of dispensing all this power?

    If we examine an athletic gesture, we will notice that the movement is almost never at a constant speed but continuously undergoes accelerations and decelerations probably due to the continuous variation of the moment of force (joint levers which change from unfavorable to favorable and vice versa).

    The objective of this training is to CONTROL THE SPEED OF EXECUTION AND LIMIT ANY ACCELERATIONS.

    Have you ever tried to do a squat or bench press or pull-up in SLOW MOTION?

    How difficult is it to be able to control slow execution speeds while maintaining maximum ROM (range of motion)?

    How useful could the ability to control the speed of our gestures be to physical development and what benefit could there be from a neuromuscular point of view?
