Met my first triathlete client this week so I got some research done to see how others talk about working with these clients. My observations of this guy were very tight, bulked up quads but poor glut max and med tone and recruitment patterns. Mega tight hamstrings and no flexibility in feet or ankles, can’t wait to get going!!
“Some of the common triathlon technique problems that can be improved through more uniformly developing the body through Pilates are:
Cycling:
* Movement /rocking of pelvis on seat
* Knees rolling inwards/outwards
* Increased movement through the upper body
* Incorrect neck posture
Running
* Feet/knees rolling in
* Hips dropping or twisting
* Increased movement in the lower back
* Shortened stride length
Swimming
* Legs sinking
* Sagging in the low back
* Wiggling through hips and torso
* Shortened arm stroke”
