Yes. But so operates yoga, exercise on an unstable surface (on the sensomotoric disc) or exercise on the tapes (ex. TRX). Similarly, posture correction exercises (eg. exercise Klapp), balance exercises (for all strategies Maintain a balance), others as NASM. And it did not need the equipment!
In general, any form of exercise which occurs static force will give this effect. But in order not to disturb in good form of athletes you can not always be used.
Yes, I think if done properly, they can help prevent injuries.
A thorough PPE ( Pre-participation evaluation) is a must before any training program commencement for athletes. What we can add to it is the need analysis of the sport, which can tell us about the mechanism of common injuries, and then we can incorporate that information into something that is sport specific and position specific for a particular individual athlete.
Please read the article for importance of an initial assessment before commencement of any training program for athletes.
We use corrective exercises to correct a biomechanical problem. In amateur and professional athletes, we may find injuries and also bad techniques that lead to imbalance in muscles. In this situation, rapid and perfect return to play is achieved only by a good rehabilitation program. NASM exercises are part of this program.
If you want to use this exercises In preventive manner, you should examine the athletes and find their problems and correction needs; then you can employ NASM exercises.
Exercises that help prevent and avoid injury are exercises that result in the same motor track and exercises muscular balance in the sense that when you train a group of muscles to be trained muscle groups corresponding with the same intensity and size, as well as safety training to prevent musculoskeletal injury.
Corrective exercises are also exercise. As we know that exercises are always for improvement or maintenance. Hence, if your exercise prescribed is executed properly up to optimum level I think there is no question about prevention of injury.
As a clinical exercise specialist, I have personal experience implementing corrective exercises with my professional athletes. It has shown to be very effective if done correctly by a professional, tailored to the specific athlete/sport, and modified to focus on any gait issues and/or imbalances.
I found no evidence to support this!!?. Poor evidences are available that specific exercises can prevent further injuries but keep in mind that occurrence of injuries is associated with multiple Bio-Psycho-Social factors. So each injury preventive plane should contain all of theses factors.
Specific exercises are designed to correct specific problems. No way to use them generally! But if there is a high incidence of a injury in one sport (e.g. ACL and lower limb injury in soccer), specific exercises may help to prevent the injury (11+ exercises for soccer players).
Yes Ruholla, but 11+ built its evidence in non professional football players. I worked for 19 years in a first division football team in my country and the players found it too easy.
Mixed. It seems that strengthening reduces injuries but effective manipulation seems to work better.
Not all manipulation is effective though.
The issue is bones moved out of place in directions the body cannot self-correct because there are no muscles or combinations of muscles that can pull in the directions needed to reposition them (and the compensation patterns bodies create for those).
When do you want to study, you must have a scientific basis regarding the effects of your intervention.
Poor evidences are available that NASM exercises can prevent further injuries.
However, keep in mind that biomechanical risk factors are one of the causes of sports injuries. Therfore, if you have a scientific (biomechanical) basis can start.
