Our collaborator Fisiopinar Clinic tells us in this article the importance of proprioception to avoid the appearance of injuries.
Proprioception is the ability of our body to recognize the joint in space. The proprioceptive receptors, found in the joint, are responsible for sending signals to the brain and telling it how it is at that moment. It is very important in preventing injuries.
It acts as a defense mechanism to prevent certain movements that can cause damage to a joint.
If it is not correct, we will not have the ability to react quickly and we will have a greater chance of injuring ourselves. After an illness, the propiceptive system will be damaged. Both to recover and to prevent it is important to work on it.
In triathlon as in other sports, different materials can be used that will help us, such as fitball, dinair, bosu, tennis balls, medium balls, ropes, bars, scooter, bohler plate ... but we can also use our own body with postures and imbalances .
We will give some example
There are many more ways to perform proprioception and situations. The beach is a good place to work, since the sand is a good uneven ground that can help us. The pool is another appropriate place.
In conclusion proprioception should be an important part of our training. Of course, any question about exercise, consult your trusted specialist.
