Today's podcast is with biomechanics and rehab specialist, Alex Effer.  Alex is the owner of Resilient Training, and has extensive experience in strength & conditioning, exercise physiology and the biomechanical function of the body.  He also runs educational mentorships teaching biomechanics to therapists, trainers and coaches.  Alex has been a previous guest on the show speaking on many aspects of gait, and the links between common gym movements and locomotion. For the amount of talk that goes into particular exercises, or exercise variations, very little goes into looking at human biomechanics first, as a base layer by which to base exercise selection.  We also spend little time understanding how two athletes may ideally perform the same movement differently, to optimize their own leverages.  We also often hear, or see exercises or training methods designed to improve external rotation, but tend to overly generalize the roles of “knees in/out”, or “inside edge/outside edge”. By understanding more about the biomechanical basis of force production, and how structure determines our base of support, we can achieve not only a better exercise selection process, but a better understanding of athletic movement in general. On the show today, Alex gets into important concepts on how humans produce force in movement, and how the internal and external rotation of joints creates effective motion.  This leads into how various body types have different bases of support, and what this means for programming squat and lunge variations, as well as implications on the level of various kettlebell swing and catch exercises.  This was an in-depth show that will change your lens on the way you see squat and lunge setups across a breadth of athletes in training.

Today's episode brings back Alex Effer.  Alex is the owner of Resilient Training, and has extensive experience in strength & conditioning, exercise physiology and the biomechanical function of the body.  He also runs educational mentorships teaching biomechanics to therapists, trainers and coaches.  Alex was recently on the show talking about the mechanics of the early to late stance spectrum and it's implications for performance training. Something that has been dramatically under-studied in running, jumping, cutting and locomotion in general is the role of the upper body.  Since the arms don't directly “put force into the ground” and the world of sports performance and running is mostly concerned with vertical force concepts; the role of the arms gets relatively little attention in movement. This is unfortunate for a few reasons.  One is that sport movement has strong horizontal and rotational components that demand an understanding of how the upper body matches and assists with the forces that are “coming up from below”.  Two is that the joints of the upper body tend to have a lot in common with the alignment and actions of corresponding joints in the lower body.  When we understand how the upper body aligns and operates, we can optimize our training for it in the gym, as well as better understand cueing and motor learning constraints in dynamic motion. Today's topics progress in a trend of “expansion to compression”, starting with a chat on the expansive effect of aerobic training (as well as the trendy thera-gun) and Alex's favorite restorative and re-positioning aerobic methods.  We then get into rotational dynamics in squatting, focusing on the actions of the lower leg, and finish the chat with a comprehensive discussion on the role of the upper body in sprinting, how to train propulsive IR for the upper body in the gym, as well as touching on improving hip extension quality for athletic power.

Timestamps and Main Points: 5:00 – Why Alex thinks that the Theragun is actually a useful tool in the scope of training 15:00 – Thoughts on the use of aerobic training, and blood flow as an “inside out” expansive stimulus to the muscle and the body in general 22:30 – The importance of tibial internal rotation, and how it fits in with the ability to squat and bend the knee 33:30 – How to restore tibial internal rotation for improved squatting and knee mechanics 38:15 – Talking about Chris Korfist's “rocker squats”, and viability in regards to specifically improving tibial internal rotation 44:00 – Isometrics and work done at shallower knee angles for knee health in respect to the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis muscles 51:00 – The importance of hip and shoulder internal rotation in sprinting, and the role of the upper body in helping the lower body to get off the ground more quickly. 1:07:30 – Narrow vs. Wide infra-sternal angle athletes in regards to upper body dynamics , and general biomechanics in sprinting 1:13:00 – Alex's take on hip extension in sprinting and how to improve it 1:22:00 – The role of hill sprinting in improving hip extension, as well as the benefits of walking down the hill in terms of priming the body to leverage the glutes better on the way back up 1:24:00 – Why Alex likes hip thrusts with the feet elevated, relative to hip height 1:28:00 – Some key exercises to improve shoulder internal rotation for sprinting “The vibration aspect of the Theragun I really like; if you slow the landing of running or sprinting, you will see a vibration or wave-like effect of the muscle upon impact” “Whatever my upper back or torso is going to do; I am going to ha...

Today's show is with Alex Effer, owner of Resilient Training and Rehabilitation.  Alex has treated and trained a variety of clients, from professional and amateur athletes, to a wide spectrum of the general population, ranging from those with certain medical conditions, to postoperative rehabilitation and individuals with chronic and complex pain.  Alex has experience as an exercise physiologist, a strength and conditioning coach, and has consulted with a number of elite and Olympic organizations.  Alex has taken a tremendous amount of continuing education courses and is on the leading edge of modern training theory. There are loads of different continuing education courses and theories, each carrying methods to train athletes from perspectives on breathing, corrective exercise, and exercise variations, to name a few.  It is in the process of getting to the core principles that define these many training systems, that we can gain a greater level of wisdom to make better decisions in exercise selection and training organization. For today's podcast, Alex speaks on his continuing education journey, and core principles that many current courses in human performance/assessment and biomechanics tend to have in common.  He speaks on how to dial up, or down, points of contact in a movement to help an athlete achieve better mastery over a skill or core human function. In the second half of the show, Alex gives some analysis and progressions with functional training movements, such as crab walks, and bear crawls, and then talks about how some “meathead” oriented exercises are actually more functional than we give the credit for.  Finally, Alex talks about exercises that either “push an athlete backwards in the chest” or “push them forwards” from the back, and how those ramifications can go into, not ony the way we select exercises, but aso the way that we periodize and organize our training programs.

Whats up Rebels, on this weeks episode of Fitness Rebels Radio I had the pleasure to sit down and chat to Alex Effer an exercise physiologist and S&C coach in Canada who has been making a name for himself in the movement / rehab section of our industry.He is a veteran in the industry of over 10 years but is a newbie to the social world, and I love the reason why, he wanted to feel ready in his knowledge..I love that, as it's so different to what goes on in the Wild West we know as social media.We actually spoke for like an hour before we hit record as we just clicked. In this episode we spoke about movement theories, the different kinds and our thoughts on that. Our passion shines through on this episode as we started to get a bit ranty, (passion and rants are a very thin line... and we walked it in this episode!).So, it's now time to go and grab your favourite cup of coffee, grab your walking shoes or get comfy on the sofa and enjoy this episode of Fitness Rebels radio.Don't forget to share and tag @nickd_rebelcoach.If you want to know what the Fitness Rebels can do for you please go to www.fitnessrebels.co.uk or follow on instagram @nickd_rebelcoachPeace.

Alex Effer, a Certified Exercise Physiologist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach based in Toronto, is our guest today. His work focuses on the pain and post-pain population, and encompasses general population and athlete rehab. Alex joins us today to discuss data points to take into account when creating programs, finding the client's range of movement, and what people are overlooking when working with people in pain. “Exercise is secondary. Exercise is the method to reach the goal. The goal is whatever that person's goal is. As a professional, you need to do that without hurting them.” – Alex Effer Topics covered include: What is an Exercise Physiologist? Getting good at the low-level strategies before trying to implement high level ones. Why it's easy to get people strong but harder to keep them maintaining and out of pain. Why Alex gravitated to the pain/rehab field. The cost of collecting data points. What data points Alex looks at for proper programming. Assessing active and passive movements. Understanding range of motion and positioning to create programs. How Alex accurately gauges range of movement. Overcoming clients “cheating” in data collection. Programming to help clients reach goals without risk of injury. Combining manual intervention with exercise. Driving client compliance and building resiliency. The importance of looking at the whole picture and understanding how structures of the body interplay.

On this episode I sit down with Alex Effer of resilient education to talk all things movement related. We cover a ton of territory and topics related to the body and movement. We start our discussion by examining some of the nuances related to the overall conception of movement as well as the planes movements occur in. We discuss how movement is not simply biomechanical but a reflection of the integration of multiple systems. We also discuss misconceptions about planes and how movement across multiple planes simultaneously affect each other. We discuss the role of the diaphragm and how it ties to the pelvis and ribcage region. This naturally led us to a good bit of discussion on the role of breathing in proper locomotion and how many individuals have breathing patterns that are far from optimal. He provided some insight about the anatomical limitations that individuals that are overly compressed or expanded might encounter. He then provided several examples of how to correct these bias through proper exercise application. We end the conversation by discussing his main considerations when programming for athletic development. Alex presents great points and considerations for proper development of athletes including 1) Assessment(and how to assess large groups without being disruptive) 2) manipulation of force vectors 3) Management of gravity 4) fitness quality/adaptation 5) sport 6) constraints( using constraints to allow for proper self organization of individual athletes.) This is a great episode covering a lot of real estate providing great explanations of different systems and how they integrate or interfere with proper movement solutions. Alex provides a lot of examples of how to properly build dynamic movers through simplified solutions. Don't forget to check out his website resilient education and alex's instagram as well.

Today's episode is with Toronto-based, Alex Effer (@alex.effer). I'm going to use his story from resilientrehab.ca to give you an idea of what he is all about. In addition, if you're interested in anything he has to offer - that is his website.  "From a young age, I gained an understanding of the importance of health and physical activity from playing competitive sports and going to the gym. However, I didn't gain a full appreciation of life-long health until I was diagnosed and hospitalized with colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease.  My life changed drastically. I was in constant pain. Joint pain, especially my lower back, knees, and ankles, stomach pains and mental exhaustion from the fear that I wouldn't be able to do the things that I enjoyed doing. With my background in Exercise Physiology from the University of Toronto as well as the positions I have held as an Exercise Physiologist, I started to educate myself on multiple fitness, rehabilitation and nutrition models which I applied on myself. Some worked, others didn't, but I was driven to find a solution as I was not going to let pain interfere with my life.  After years of trial and error, consulting with other practitioners, and the combination of multiple fitness and rehabilitation methodologies, I overcame the constant daily pains and am able to train and move pain-free. From my experience, I have dedicated my life to help my clients overcome any ailments or pain in order to restore confidence in their lives through a unique, integrated, and multi-disciplinary approach to training and rehabilitation." The Lifestyle Chase needs your help growing the audience.
