Fast, powerful movements test our neuromuscular capacity because they require the brain (CNS) and muscles to work together at maximum. Unlike slow strength training, these movements force the nervous system to improve its ability to fire, coordinate, and recruit motor units instantly. We have to move AND reassemble ourselves. Neuromuscular capacity is a strict "use it or lose it" reality. Happily, we can recover it pretty quickly. This example vid has a mini tutorial for progressing this particular move ⚡ #AGEility

The acquisition of new motor skills triggers structural and functional changes in the brain's architecture. Evidence suggests that 'open-skill' exercises have a prominent effect on your ability to process information quickly and solve new problems, which is typically the first cognitive area to decline with age. Think Dancing, Football, Tennis, Basketball, Martial Arts or quick to practice and learn Body-Flow movements like this

I'm 58. My body has been through a life of athletic sport: multiple knee, ankle shoulder surgeries. T5-S1 vertebrae is herniated & degenerated. I could go on. Yet the body is resilient. Give it the movement it needs for you to remain mobile and agile. It will respond. It will carry you forward. Dynamic/flow/mobility movements are a key part of my exercise diet. I need to do these, I cannot not

Neural drive is the intensity of the signal sent from the CNS to muscles, dictating recruitment of muscle fibre and the force produced. It represents the neuromuscular ability to increase muscle tension, power, and speed It deteriorates with age. Older adults cannot "turn up the volume" of the neural signal as high as younger people. We can slow the decline via Maximal strength training and Power (high velocity) training. You want both. Heavy RT alone is not sufficient. These are 2 simple examples of high intensity movements. Whether a sprinter or someone not wanting to move increasingly slowly as they age, employ them 🦥 or 🤸? #AGEility
