The Re-Act Principle: A new principle in Movement Dynamics.

All sporting and non- sporting actions have one thing in common; they are all based upon principles of natural human movement. The only difference is the end outcome that is to be accomplished. In the sporting world numerous documented specific drills and training protocols have been devised in an attempt to enhance these natural movements and although the majority of these drills and protocols have been developed through scientific evaluation of the sport in question resulting in specific coaching techniques, actual natural human movement principles themselves appear to be very scarce.

These natural human movement principles I refer to as being the Re-Act principle, which is the reaction to the initial action sequencing and may provide coaches with additional knowledge to pass onto their participants. The following are a very small selection of questions that I would like to share in response to hypothesising Re-Act Principle

A.    How many times does a single foot touch the ground before an internal reference frame requires a Re-Act?

B.     How many times does a single foot touch the ground before an external reference frame requires a Re-Act?

C.     How many times do both feet touch the ground during the Re-Act sequence?

D.    Why are we attempting to control our centre of mass and base of support when loading response needs minimising?

E.     Why do we attempt to control gravity, ground reaction principles and the principles of linear and rotation mechanics when these are given to us for free?

F.   Finally, when implementing the Re-Act, where and when does the initial chain reaction occur from? and where and when does it end?

The Re-Act principle is based upon observation of natural human movement, both from sporting and non-sporting activities and attempts to give those who want to optimise their own actions a new perspective to both training and life.
