Understanding Our Literature in Baseball Biomechanics and Neuro-Training

Neuro-Science / Neuro-Training
A highly recommended book is The Performance Cortex by Zach Schonbrun. It offers deep insights into how the brain governs performance.

Goal Orientation
Explore numerous online articles explaining the neurological basis of human movement and motivation.

Neuroplasticity
One of the brain’s most remarkable abilities is its capacity to adapt in milliseconds. This concept is fundamental and worth in-depth exploration.

Self-Organization
Delve into Bernstein’s Laws and related research, focusing on how the body self-organizes movement patterns.

Motor Learning (ML)
Study how we learn through environmental interaction and optimize information acquisition for skill development.

Sequence Learning (SL)
Examine how humans improve movement by learning in sequences, enhancing motor efficiency through structured practice.

Biomechanics
A critical component that integrates physics and physiology to improve technique and reduce injury risk.

RMT Training & Weck Method

• Weck Method (IG): Developed by biomechanist David Weck, this method emphasizes locomotion fundamentals across all basic movements.

• Animalistic Training: Focuses on primal, fundamental movement patterns rooted in natural locomotion.

Kinetics vs. Kinematics
Understanding the forces (kinetics) versus movement mechanics (kinematics) is essential for optimizing training.

Chaotic Training
Incorporates randomization during sessions to promote adaptability, co-contraction, and functional strength.

Spatial-Temporal Movement Patterns
Explores how the body moves within given spatial and temporal constraints, refining coordination and timing.

This comprehensive approach integrates neuroscience, biomechanics, and cutting-edge training methodologies to maximize baseball development and performance.
