Addressing movement flaws: reduce subsequent injury risks, enhances performance. Movement competence is different for different people e. g. a construction worker needs to be able to lift heavy for a long period of time than a bank who need enough energy to get through the day. People move with patterns, patterns begins as an engram. Need to practice to establish new engrams when damaged. Where these movement patterns came from: anatomy (heredity-can"t do much here, environment/experience. Lack of optimal neurodevelopment ( 1/3 of people) Learned behaviour (occupation such as police, sports, exercise and lifestyle choices) Implications: vo2 max/ aerobic threshold/10 min run distance/skinfold measurements. Women have 6 time greater chance than man to have their acl busted.
