Adam Dovick Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 So I've been progressing into single salto triple twisting and double salto twists and I've notices a large limitation on my training is proprioceptor fatigue, or at least that's what I was told it was called. Basically over the course of about 20 minutes of these skills there is a huge drop in coordiation and awareness and as a result, success in the skills. I've been told this is typical but I'm wondering what are the best methods to retain peak function for as many skills as possible. I've been told that hydration is very important and that rests. But is there a minimum time between skills that should be waited to allow for proprietor rest or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Sommer Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 - The hydration comment is too general. Before and after training? Absolutely. But during? Who in their right mind wants to attempt twisting double flips with a stomach full of liquid sloshing around? - That training window will vary from 20-45 min and is every bit as much mental as well as physical. The level of CNS fatigue you are encountering is normal when learning new skills that are at the edge of what you are able to handle coordination wise. Your capacity will improve with time, however you will never be able to complete nearly as many reps of these upper level skills as you would basic skills in a single training session.
