Exploring the Kinetic-Chain Concept

The kinetic-chain concept states that muscles, joints and proprioceptors all work together and no body part works in isolation. When using exercise to improve daily activities, enhance performance or change appearance, it's important to incorporate exercises that emphasize movements as well as training specific body parts. By including movement exercise in all 3 planes of motion in a less stable environment enhances the synergy between the nervous and muscular systems (neuromuscular efficiency). This is crucial to ensure the safety and effectiveness of activities performed both inside and outside of the gym.
