Reading Time: <1 minuteI am teaching thoracic training. Athlete Takashi Eto won the Shizuoka International Athletics Championships yesterday with a good record of 2.30 meters. Eto, who represented Japan at the Rio Olympics, is aiming to represent Japan at the Tokyo Olympics and will challenge the standard record of 2.33 meters. If he breaks the standard record, he will be in a position to win at the Olympics. Smoothing the movement of the thorax stabilizes your posture in the air and allows you to control your body so that it does not touch the bar. Thoracic training is also an effective training method for high jump athletes. Combined with breathing techniques, you can control your autonomic nervous system and relax under tension when competing. We gave detailed instruction on the day before the competition, and he was able to compete in top condition. We wish him success in breaking the standard record and winning the Japan Championships.
