How does the vestibular apparatus work?

The role of the vestibular apparatus in the game of tennis.

How does the vestibular apparatus work? ‎It reacts to excessive exposure to muscle blockade and causes discoordination of movements.

Not disclosed the secret of accelerating the accelerating the turnability and agility of tennis players (2).

If children could tell about what they were experiencing while following the instructions (s) of coaches, the speed of their training would have increased many times.

Naturally, provided that the coaches would inquire about the nature of the emergence of certain sensations, completely and for a long time depriving children of the opportunity to perform these teams. This phenomenon is most demonstratively manifested, which will be discussed further, during the heated, during the merging of all the coaches I know, without exception, that the player, performing a blow, does not move the body towards the point of impact and further, and freezes in the opposite direction.

Are you interested in why this is happening? ‎You clearly see that the child is trying and making efforts to perform the team, but for the hundredth time and the thousandth can not overcome some "unknown" obstacle.

Let's getta of analyzing the player's actions exactly as much as necessary to understand and take into account how the vestibular apparatus that controls and promotes the balance of the body works. ‎Many have observed or felt or read that during the pitching of the ship at sea, people experience feelings of dizziness, denim and impaired coordination of movements. ‎Everything would be much clearer if someone had to think of the idea to check what length the world champion jumps on the seat on the deck of the ship at the time when he will have the manifestations of the motion syndrome. I did not have such an opportunity, but I can reliably say, naturally based on the data of experimental studies obtained in similar conditions. No more than half the distance from my record. ‎Someone will say - well, it is clear that the athlete is dizzy and his vocabulary... And I will say that physiologists and sports doctors told me that before the onset of visible from the side and felt manifestations of motion sickness caused by the protective reaction of the vestibular apparatus, unnoticed and significantly marked blockade of the muscles to perform the volitional commands. ‎In other words, the muscles are devilling, losing strength and do not want to fulfill their purpose at all.

Does the syndrome of motion sickness in a tennis player, forced to turn (turn), i.e. turn, turn the head, or shoulders and head around the axis of the body, say it very quickly and consistently in opposite directions? ‎The syndrome during the execution of impacts and returns to the original position does not arise, and only because its occurrence is prevented by the termination of the centrifugal force on the vestibular apparatus of the required power of the required power due to the failure of its functions by both the support and motor apparatus of the muscular system at the required speed. ‎I mean, I.e. ‎without a special training, the tennis player is able to unfold only in one direction very quickly. ‎And you need to two. That is why when performing the impact of increased or even the usual force slowed down, and if necessary, it is not possible to quickly turn, including the turn of the head to perform a strong blow without specialized training, it is not possible to hit severely.

At the same time, I will note that the protective, but not trained in muscular function of the vestibular apparatus manifests itself in two, completely different conditions. ‎The first, most often observed (outside of sports activities), when the body and head move quickly without fixing the look on any object, driving a circle in a car, swaying on a ship or swings, flying in space or supersonic aircraft. And the most dramatic manifested when an untrained person falls on the sidelines as a bag, breaking your hands and feet.but fixing the gaze on the fast-moving surface of something or objects - attractions around the head.

And yet, perhaps, only when playing tennis, when a completely new third, for an untrained person, a unique condition that requires the simultaneous fixation of the view on a very (comparatively) fast-moving object (swtage or washer) and the need to unfold very quickly without taking a look away from the moving ball. ‎The coaches noticed this. And it is recommended that when turning the blows, do not turn your head along with the shoulders. ‎And what to do when the whole body and hands are clamped, and the legs refuse to move when the ball flew to the zenith (best)?

And here's the sadness. ‎The suppression of unwanted muscular and other reactions caused by the vestibular apparatus in the usual household or unique conditions (space...) is enough 3 x 4 months of training. And the training to achieve success (without special training) of the dancer, skater or tennis player takes years.

Description and recommendations on overcoming the inhibitory muscular activity of the functional features of the action of the vestibular apparatus in the production and exit from the feed and falls will be given in the third part of the publication - The undisclosed secret of the acceleration of turnability and dexterity (agility) tennis players (3). And in the meantime, you need to comprehend in detail what has already been written. ‎In the future, editorial edits are possible, but the meaning of the written from this will not be lost.
