Understanding Active and Passive Structures: What are they and why should we know about them?
Active structures in our body are muscles. They help us move and keep our shape. Passive structures are things like tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. They help hold bones together but don't move on their own. Knowing how these work together helps you get strong and stay healthy.
Importance in Injury Prevention
Active and passive structures need to be in balance. Let's say your muscles are strong but your tendons are weak. That's a setup for injury. Phil White, a sports physio, says that many injuries come from not giving equal attention to these two kinds of structures. He suggests a holistic approach. This includes building muscle and also caring for tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
Anatomy Deep Dive
Tendons connect muscle to bone. Ligaments connect bone to bone. Cartilage acts as a cushion between bones. When you get an injury like a SLAP tear, it's often because one of these passive structures was not up to the task of supporting the active ones. Yani opted out of surgery for his SLAP tear by focusing on strengthening the framework around the injury.
Practical Tips
- Whole-Body Workouts: Exercise your whole body, not just one part. This way, all your active and passive structures get stronger together.
- Dynamic Stretching: Before heavy lifting or sports, do dynamic stretches. This prepares your muscles and the supporting structures.
- Consistent Training: Follow a program that progressively adds more weight or reps over time. This approach was key for Yani's recovery.
- Get Professional Help: Like Yani, consider getting multiple opinions if surgery is suggested. He consulted four surgeons before deciding on a more natural approach to healing.
- Importance of Rehab: Yani's story emphasizes that it's not just surgery that heals you, but the work you do before and after. At Unity Gym, we focus on building a balanced, strong body that can support itself through life's ups and downs.
