Hi all,
I recently completed the Second Wind Express course. I was so happy to learn about the breathing side of health and performance as I had very little of this knowledge going in. I was left with some questions about the Relaxation side of the course however and I am hoping someone with a good understanding of the subject could help me. I'll reserve this post for my first question..
It became pretty apparent to me that the relaxation ability of one's muscles and having the relaxation adaptation, is incredibly important for athletic success, but how does this ability interact with strength? One of Pavel's slides list characteristics of individuals with the relaxation adaptation and one of them is "medium strength". I also looked into the studies behind much of the information given to help answer this question. Unfortunately the versions I found are not incredibly detailed and are likely translated from Russian so they are a little tricky to interpret. Here is an excerpt from one that perhaps someone could shed light on.
"In a series of experiments, carried out with participation of 597 sportsmen of different age and qualification, our hypothesis that had been provided above, has confirmed completely. Under an impact of training physical stress three different types of long-term adaptation have formed among the sportsmen: hypertrophic, transitive, and relaxation type. Among sportsmen with a low-capacity HRFPS, regardless of age, adaptation took place due to an increase the volume of muscle mass and strength at the background of low speed of muscle relaxation, in other words, hypertrophic type of long-term adaptation or individual development. Transitive type of adaptation formed among the participants with HRFPD of moderate power, and relaxation type formed among the sportsmen with high-power HRFPS. A high speed of relaxation and moderate indexes of muscle strength have been typical for the latter type." RELAXAION TYPE OF LONG-TERM ADAPTATION TO AN INCREASE IN ORGANIZM STABILITY AGAINST PHYSICAL STRAIN - Медицинские науки - International Journal Of Applied And Fundamental Research
So with all of that in mind here is my key question: Is above moderate strength/muscle mass detrimental to the relaxation adaptation, regardless of speed of muscle relaxation? And if someone naturally has above average muscle mass in their lower or upper body, are they at a disadvantage for achieving the relaxation adaptation.
Thanks for any help!
