HOME OF THE QUANTIFIED ATHLETE
Movement quality and the iceberg effect
Why is Movement Quality Important for Performance?
Movement quality is often replaced in training and conditioning programs with the basic components of fitness such as strength, agility, endurance, power and speed. However, focusing solely on measures of athleticism during training and conditioning can lead to a "performance paradox," whereby an individual can demonstrate extreme levels of athleticism but still display significant movement dysfunctions that influence injury risk. This concept is demonstrated as an iceberg effect where performance, represented by the tip of the iceberg, is built upon movement quality, the functional determinants of movement, hidden beneath the water line.
