Transitioning from TSC to Feedback Statics
For all interested in exercise, I have recommended close study of this treatise as strongly as I know how.
Below, is an authentic, hand-drawn sketch by Gus of the TSC graphic that I demonstrated in the YouTube video (starting at 00:26:46)
OVERLAID
by a graphic representation of the trajectory expected from feedback statics.
Essentialy, Gus has produced a double graph.
[The YouTube video: Timed Static Contraction for Hip Rehabilitation]
All competent exercise instructors will be able to sketch either one of the graphs as well as the double graph that Gus has produced.
Addendum
Some readers obtained the incorrect impression that I am urging instructors to present this double graphic to subjects, especially most or all exercise subjects. Wherein did I promote such misjudgment? I wrote, “… will be able…”
Note that fewer than 1% of exercise subjects presently use or desire to use any form of statics. Hence, the rest probably will not profit from seeing the TSC graphic (although I urge the promotion of TSC to everyone via its presentation as shown in the YouTube video).
Note, also, that fewer than 1% of all those employing TSC have access to feedback equipment. Hence, the rest probably will not profit from seeing the feedback statics (FS) graphic.
Note, also, that fewer than 1% of all those employing feedback statics have access to feedback software that provides a history of the inroad trace. Although, some of those who do have access to this equipment may perform exercises that involve TSC (with and without feedback) as well as FS (with and without stated software). And in such rare cases, presentation of the double overlayed graphics is almost always inadvisable. However, used appropriately, the singular TSC graphic and/or the singular FS graphic are crucially required for fostering understanding.
Indiscriminate presentation of these two graphics, moreover the presentation of the double overlay as pictured herein, is egregious misjudgment unless we acknowledge the unlikely purpose to merely confuse and annoy the audience.
Nevertheless, a competent instructor WILL BE ABLE to present all iterations of these graphic(s).
Please read my Addendum.
Note that Gus omitted the horizontal lines representing the stimulation thresholds. Of course, they are seen on the TSC graphic presented in the YouTube video. They can be added.
