Reading Time: <1 minuteYesterday, Shinji Aoto, a friend of mine who ran the track and field club together for more than XNUMX years, was the London Olympics representative and former champion of the Japan Championships, Kana Ichikawa. 　https://www.jaaf.or.jp/athletes/profile/kana_ichikawa/She came to the clinic with Kaito Kawabata, a member of the Japanese 4x400m relay team, to receive training guidance. Ichikawa has been featured in many media outlets as one of Japan's most beautiful athletes, and is outstanding not only in her beauty but also in her physical abilities and achievements. Now 30 years old, she continues to compete and is still aiming to break new records. Until now, sprinters' training has relied too much on power and technique, and the use of the body has been largely ignored. This time, like with Kawabata, I was in charge of teaching conditioning and training methods to improve physical performance with immediate results. I am convinced that it will definitely lead to good results. Today, I taught breathing and thoracic training methods. This is what is called lung activation. If the movement of the thorax improves, energy from the center of the body increases and energy can be transmitted to the limbs more efficiently. If the movement of the thorax improves, in other words, if you perform lung activation, the function of the lungs will improve and the maximum oxygen intake per time will also increase. It is more important training than training of the limbs. The advantages of thoracic training are: - No risk at all - Great results in a short time - Does not interfere with any training - Can be done anytime, anywhere - No equipment required - Can be done as a conditioning and care method - Has rehabilitation effects in case of injury - Does not depend on the characteristics of the sport, etc. Great results can be obtained. I would like to continue coaching Kawabata until he can break the long-standing Japanese record in the 400m. I am happy to have had the opportunity to coach many Olympic athletes and Japanese national team athletes. The content of the coaching will be based on the contents of this book. https://www.amazon.co.jp/%E6%9C%80%E9%AB%98%E3%81%AE%E4%BD%93%E8%AA%BF%E3%82%92%E5%BC%95%E3%81%8D%E5%87%BA%E3%81%99%E8%B6%85%E8%82%BA%E6%B4%BB-%E5%B0%8F%E6%9E%97-%E5%BC%98%E5%B9%B8/dp/4776211238/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=3JW4J&pf_rd_p=63597d76-0215-4f5e-bb4d-851158766d92&pf_rd_r=19HD415BKCFQ2GR1H5BR&pd_rd_r=2400fdd8-2b59-4807-9668-bf1585595309&pd_rd_wg=tLozI&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
