Introduction to Sensomotoric Training
The human body is a complex system of muscles, tendons, joints and bones that is constantly in motion. Every movement we make triggers a reaction that affects other areas of the body.
Sensorimotor training is a method that trains precisely these reaction chains in the body. Targeted training of the senses (e.g. sense of balance, touch, sight and hearing) and motor skills (muscle strength, coordination, mobility) improves the interaction between body and mind.
What is sensorimotor training?
Sensorimotor training is a method that originates from the field of physiotherapy. Sensorimotor regulation is the brain's ability to control motor skills and perception. Sensorimotor training can optimize movement sequences and improve motor skills. It is used in physiotherapy for neurological disorders, such as after a stroke.
However, sensorimotor training can also be used in competitive sport and fitness to improve motor skills.
This content is therefore developed in the sensorimotor training course for fitness trainers, in which participants perform practice-oriented strengthening exercises using unstable surfaces such as wobble boards, foam, exercise balls, ropes or slings and much more.
The unstable surfaces train proprioception, i.e. the perception of one's own body and its movements. The exercises challenge balance, coordination and strength and are therefore particularly effective.
