1)
What are the advantages of doing physical conditioning?
The human performance in any physical activity depends on the
qualities development inherent for each person. Human beings present
multiple common abilities, but have also a great diversity of
powers hidden many times because of the encouragement absence.
It’s the physical trainer’s job to identify each one
of these powers and also some possible deficiencies and after
that, to apply individually this training scientific method. Jiu-Jitsu,
for example, is one sport that requires physical qualities as
agility, power, flexibility, strength, speed of reaction, aerobic
and anaerobic resistance, beyond attention, concentration and
emotional control. The highest power of each quality is genetically
determined and varies greatly among people. The greatest advantage
of physical conditioning based on the training scientific method
is the identification and the ample development of the physical
characteristics that permit efficient execution of the fighting
techniques and reversion from other qualities, which are at a
lower level of development because of the encouragement absence
or genetics influence.
2)
How long do you train the New Generation athletes and others?
I work for more than 10 years with physical
conditioning for athletes with high performance. At the beginning
I was dedicated only for athletes that compete long distances,
but nearly for 6 years I am diversifying the application of this
work for many others sport activities. This can be explained by
the training scientific method, originally founded by the Russian
school for sport training, which can be applied universally, requiring
only the identification of the physical qualities predominating
in each sport. The work for physical conditioning with New Generation
athletes began on April 2006 with the fighters Henrique Gama Filho
(Jiu-Jitsu) and Alan Alen Pereira da Fonseca (Muay-Thai), the
last acting successfully at the competition season in Japan since
this February.
3) How many days per week is the ideal?
The high performance needs training every day and many times each
day beyond resting and adequate nutrition. This hard routine,
restricted to competitors, can and must be adapted for those who
want to develop your physical and emotional qualities through
the martial arts. Anyway, for competitors or for common people
who look for self-developing, the scientific method must be applied
with a very well defined goal and joining different cycles of
training along a time period.
4) Does a nutrition accompaniment
exist?
How I already mentioned, the human performance
depends not only on the physical and psychological training, but
also on the resting quality and nutrition. In this context, the
pedagogical aspect of the training scientific method determines
that the nutritional orientation besides the oral exhibition of
the physiology and biochemistry of the body could be offer for
the athletes often. So, differing from the specific diet prescribed
by nutritionists and doctors, what we want is that the athlete
understands basic aspects about his organism functioning and can
be capable of adopting himself healthy attitudes, coherent with
his self-developing.
5) Where are the trainings?
The training is individual and prescribed
according to the objectives and characteristics of each athlete.
Beyond the activities at the pool and on the beach, some equipments
are used for developing the strength and muscle power (gym, medicine-ball,
elastics) and exercises adapted for developing agility based on
movements used during the fight. Moreover, circuit training in
doubles or triples with exercises adapted for Jiu-Jitsu and Wrestling
are realized every Tuesdays and Thursdays on the beach.
