Running and posture

Abstract

An athlete, to get the best result, brings the body to its maximum through targeted and personalized training. To do this, the athlete must be in a state of psycho-physical balance and it is possible not only thanks to proper training, but above all to a correct posture. It depends on many factors and once analysed, there are different ways to improve it. The aim of the research is to demonstrate, from the recognition of scientific literature, how posture can influence sporting performance, in particular in a fast-running race, of an élite athlete and how it can be improved. Therefore, the method adopted is that of the "Prisma" protocol, with the comparison of reviews of carefully selected scientific products. The data reported in the research describe a series of mechanisms according to which our body carries out a series of adaptations, which over time, can be fixed as postural defects and which can negatively influence performance. It is therefore necessary for the athlete to acquire a good running technique by performing a series of exercises aimed at improving the tone of the various muscle areas, joint mobility, coordination and harmonious movements, associated with a targeted postural and corrective exercise program, instead, to recover the flawed attitudes. In conclusion, it is possible to affirm how, through postural correction, and therefore of specific exercises of postural reeducation and muscle tone, it is possible to achieve balance, well-being and an improvement in athletic performance.

Didactic problem: Teaching and methods in volleyball

“…A non-directive mode favours the development of autonomy and stimulates spontaneity and creativity; allows the participation of each student according to their possibilities (D'Isanto & Di Tore, 2016) and determines a high cognitive and emotional involvement. Each pupil has its own needs, characteristics, aspirations and learning methods, therefore the teacher must give an answer personalize to each one to facilitate the development of the potential of all students (D'Isanto et al, 2019). The scholastic curriculum (Raiola et al, 2018) is rich in objectives related to a wide range of skills and abilities: for example, it can include the learning of specific technical skills of sports disciplines, as volleyball (Forte et al, 2019).…”
