Before
the Second World War physical training mimicked the labour-intensive
lifestyles
of the time. When your job depended on your physical condition your
training had to be
very functional and very specific to the demands of the job.
In
a post-war world, technology, like pharmaceuticals, was seen as a
solution to our entire
health needs. The pendulum shifted from a highly functional form of
training, involving
integration of balance and movement, to a more stable form of
training that isolated
movements. High tech strength training and cardiovascular equipment
were introduced and
became the norm. These types of equipment no longer integrated
movement patterns,
but instead isolated them. When using such equipment, the ability to
train balance and stability
drastically declined. |
