Everything begins with the Nervous System: Mind effects Muscle.

Posted by Maria Kang on April 10th, 2007

 

Since physical training is more mind than muscle - at least 70% - for improving fitness or physical performance we then begin to understand that the mind is the most important “power” to engage. Any athlete cannot improve his or her quality of muscle, strength or performance without first improving the quality of the mind. That is why there is, should be, distinct levels of “progressive” training routines to follow in accordance with the adaptation of the central nervous system’s (CNS) learning capabilities and the growth of the mind. We get better at doing things through the habitual practice of them because our minds make a stronger connection to whatever we are trying to better coordinate.
