Each needs to improve by

85% for best outcome



Any Pyramid is as strong as its base

Keep working from the bottom up to complete the Pyramid

Start on 1. Biomechanics then 2. Functional Range 3. Functional Core 4. Functional Core and finally 5. Strength and Conditioning


EACH step of the process is measured

Same process is applicable for ANY athlete in - Rehabilitation, Prehabilitation, Performance Enhancement and Screening

Communication ‘Currency’ between players, coaches and other practitioners is the SAME

4. Why is it different?


5. What are the steps to learn?

The 5 Fundamentals Step by Step

The Weighting Score on each


1. Tests to Measure and Improve Biomechanics (Ridgway Method)

2. Tests to Measure, Improve Functional Range and Control(Ridgway Method)

3. Tests to Measure and Improve Functional Core (Clinical Pilates)

4. Tests to Measure and Improve Strength and Conditioning (Numerous!)

6. What are the key areas to concentrate

on?


1. Master how to measure and Improve Biomechanics – The Base of the Performance Pyramid

2. Communicate the Performance Pyramid to Coaches, Athletes, Athlete’s Parents, Other Practitioners

3. Refer back to the Performance Pyramid when identifying ‘How Your Athlete Is Going?’

Your Peak Performance

score: _____________Peak Performance 85.0

- 95.0


Loading Tolerance

When your Peak Performance Score is >85.00 your Loading (intensity of training, competing) matches your Tolerance. Result

is no pain, no symptoms. The body is a well oiled machine.


Loading Tolerance

7-14 DAYS

20%

Once your Peak Performance Score is >85.00 you can increase your Loading (training, intensity) by 20% over a

period of 7-14 days, and your body will be able to Tolerate it. For elite athletes, you can increase your Loading by

~30% over a period of 5-10 days. (I.e. you tolerate things faster).


Loading Tolerance

>20%

PAIN/SYMPTOMS

If you increase your Loading by >20% the body finds it difficult to Tolerate this amount of change. When your

body's Tolerance does not match the Loading then pain/symptoms are the result.
