    I typically have a routine before races where I consume coffee about 30 minutes prior, along with either a banana or sometimes bread 60min before. Now, I'm curious about incorporating bicarbonate into my pre-race snacks regimen. Could you please break down how I should approach this? For example, if I take bicarbonate 90 minutes before the race, followed by a banana or bread 60 minutes before, would it be advisable to have coffee alongside bicarbonate 30 minutes before the race?

    I think that in the case of loosing balance, instinct kicks in spontaneously, there is no need to think about it. The issue becomes what do you do with the instinctual signal. I have seen the typical response many times as I have observed people falling. Many times I could see the abject loss of their minds to fear. Therefore instinct spontaneously alerts you to the danger and then the mind falls prey to emotion, fear. It is not an easy subject to investigate with people as the ego gets in the way or they just cannot remember those important fractions of a second from signal to ground contact. I love the opportunity to experience a fall but as I said you cannot fake one. Watching other people fall does give some insight into how the mind, under extreme pressure, how it responds to the unknown nature of the fall. The few people that could recall the experience all said the same thing, their mind was completely blank, blackness within.

  • @Glen-uy4jt

    Fall prevention seems like an oxymoron. Wouldn’t it be better to call it fall intervention. Turning sideways while falling backwards is not prevention, it is a correction. In the fraction of a second that we have in free fall there are a lot of tools at our disposal, at the least to prevent damage or to minimize damage. I find that most people go blank as they are consumed by fear after loosing their balance. This dooms them to fate. If the fear does not take over consciousness we can act quickly. Yes I agree we must train ourselves for fall intervention but I disagree with imitation falls, they have no bearing whatsoever with really falling. In my experience, who has not fallen, falls are extremely quick. If you try to analyze your fall during the episode you will never recover. You must practice methods that are activated as soon as loss of balance is even imagined. There are several Kung Fu techniques that work by using gravity as a means of transport, a fall is much faster and direct than muscular propulsion.

  • @Glen-uy4jt
    @Glen-uy4jt День тому

    This seems rather incomplete. You cannot imitate a fall. By the time you know that you have lost your balance you are falling. How long is the time period from loss of balance to recognition of the loss? How long does it take to fall from a standing position to ground impact? This training seems incomplete or even misleading. We can prevent falling backwards by always being on the edge of falling forwards. By a change of postural equilibrium. Also the fear must be taken away from falling. Falling must be embraced and then the fall can be used to our advantage.

    I have pain under my left patella. I did the exercise once with the same side arm as the knee and was surprised by the success. Then I did a sequence with the 'next level Rehab' with knee rotation with the band about the knee - it felt great. Another sequence from 'knee pain relief drills' and I felt nearly nothing anymore. I will practise it know regularly and observe the improvement. Great this correlation from brain and body!

I dont even know what kind of doctor (covered by insurance) would deal with that kind of issue. (I've been going to a chiropracter, and do have a referral for a pulmonologist soon...).

    Good video. The best I've seen so far. You can save money by using a simple plastic hose valve that costs a couple dollars. I've been using one and it works perfectly. Also, this exercise also helps lower blood pressure. There's lots of research. It lowers systolic more than diastolic. A lot of treatments don't do that. So this can be really helpful for the elderly who can also use the increased stamina and endurance.

I have to wear a hard hat with ear muff protective gear and I have balance issues all day. The hard hat is adjustable in the back and I put it on the loosest setting so it’s not squeezing my head but the earmuffs on the sides are not adjustable and their squeezing my head from the sides. I think they’re causing me to have balance issues.

    Wouldn’t an upper body weight shift be safer and more efficient? Lowering the center of gravity and reposition the foot. It is called ¨ embracing a fall ¨ as opposed to fighting a fall. I am all for strengthening the ankles but to use the ankles as you are proposing seems like a poor option. That places a large amount of force that would be applied laterally to the ankle joint.
