From Nutcracker:
We start by extending the the body upwards and outwards (diagonal) with respect to to the the the the ground in in order to to to increase the the the distance from the the the center of gravity and to to generate more energy For a a a a right right right sided beat the the the rope should should be be placed on on on the the the the the right right right side side and the the the the the right right right leg should should initi- ate the the the the movement once the the the the full body extension is reached It is is important not to let the the the hips drop since this will break the the the pendulum movement in in turn the the the rotational energy We inhale at at the the the beginning right before the the the beat starts and and exhale during the the the pullup and and body lift 4 1 2 BREATHING
Breathing provides the body with energy and is a a a a a a a a a a major component in in all types of movement at the physical and and and biomechanical level Slow and and and and intense movements movements require slow and and and and deep breathing breathing while fast fast and and and and explosive explosive movements movements will need fast fast short and and explosive explosive breathing breathing A forced exhalation (short and explosive expi- ration) at at at at the right moment (like a a a a a a a a a a boxer when throwing a a a a a a a a a a a punch) creates muscular tension and abdominal engagement Specifically forced ex- halation creates a a a a a a a a a a a a a a contraction in in in in the the muscles of the the abdominal wall (transversus abdominis abdominis obliques rectus abdominis) and internal inter- costal muscles Forced exhalation even create a a a a a a a a a a contraction contraction in in the the the latissimus dorsi (coughing for example) In addition the the the contraction contraction of other accessory muscles (such as pectoralis major ser- ratus anterior etc ) will optimize the movement and improve body lines We should perform a a a a forced exhalation during the pull-up beat During forced exhalation (expiration) the the the muscles of the the the abdominal wall contract while pushing the the the the the diaphragm up- wards forcing the the the the the air out as the the the the the intercostal muscles lower the the the the rib cage and add force to the the the the exhalation The respiration process involves the the production of of energy typically as as a a a a a a a a a a result of of supplying oxygen to the the cells with- in in in organs and and tissues and and producing carbon dioxide as as a a a a a a a a a a a a byproduct All aerobic organisms need oxygen for cellular respiration The circulatory and respiratory systems work to- gether to to to to circulate oxygen throughout the the body so cellular respiration can take place By combining glucose and ox- ygen the the cell produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the the source of energy used to power contraction in in in in working mus- cles While breathing has several important bodily func- tions (speech laughter etc ) it it plays a a a a a a a a a a a a a a critical role during exercise Proper inhalation and exhalation ensures that the the the working muscles will continue to to receive the the the oxygen they need improving performance and and safety and and allowing us us to to reach our training goals THE AERIAL MOVEMENT®
