Dit is de 197e aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast, over sport, onderzoek en innovatie. In deze aflevering hebben Gerrit en Jurgen het over:
Beter balanceren dankzij de ASM Masters of Movement
INLEIDING:
Hilbert van der Duim die dankzij een vogelpoepje een schuiver over het ijs maakt, de halve Jumbo-Visma ploeg die door een lek kinderzwembadje ten val komt en Femke Bol die net voor de finishlijn struikelt.
Een goede balans is essentieel tijdens het bewegen Maar hoe train je dit? En zorgen we dat innovatieve ideeën de sport ook echt hierbij helpen? We staken ons licht op bij de afgelopen Masters of Movement bijeenkomst van het ASM.
Ontdek in deze aflevering van de Slimmer Presteren Podcast hoe je je balans kunt verbeteren met innovatieve trainingsmethoden zoals het ASM. Leer hoe balans je sportprestaties naar een hoger niveau tilt en blessures voorkomt!
Vragen die in deze aflevering worden beantwoord:
Waarom is balans belangrijk voor sportprestaties?
Balans is essentieel om blessures te voorkomen en efficiënt te bewegen. Zonder balans kun je niet goed presteren, of je nu rent, fietst of schaatst.
Hoe kan ik balans trainen?
Je kunt balans trainen door variatie in je bewegingen, zoals dansen, padel of sporten die rollen en glijden omvatten. Dit versterkt je algemene beweegvaardigheden.
Wat is het Athletic Skills Model (ASM)?
Het ASM is een model dat atleten breed motorisch traint, door verschillende vormen van beweging aan te bieden. Dit zorgt voor een betere algehele beweegvaardigheid, wat sportprestaties ten goede komt.
Waarom duurt het vaak lang voordat innovaties in de sport worden toegepast?
Innovaties zoals de klapschaats worden vaak niet meteen omarmd door sporters en coaches. Het kost tijd om nieuwe ideeën te testen en te bewijzen dat ze in de praktijk werken.
Hoe kan balans de prestaties van hardlopers verbeteren?
Een betere balans zorgt ervoor dat hardlopers efficiënter kunnen bewegen, wat leidt tot minder energieverbruik en een verbeterde loopeconomie.

The seventh of track and field action at the Paris Olympics was monumental in so many ways, and another stellar day for Team USA! Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone broke the world record en route to Olympic gold in the women's 400m hurdles and Tara Davis-Woodhall claimed gold in the long jump. In tonight's edition of Torch Talk, the team breaks down...
– Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone won her second Olympic gold in the women's 400mH and broke the world record for the sixth time, running 50.37. She is the first woman to ever win back-to-back Olympic golds in this event. Anna Cockrell set a huge PB to upset Femke Bol for silver. Bol settled for bronze in 52.15.
– Letsile Tebogo upset Noah Lyles and Kenny Bednarek to win gold in the men's 200m, running an African record of 19.46. It's the first time the 200m Olympic crown has ever been won by an African man. Bednarek won silver for the second Games in a row and Lyles took home bronze. After the race, Lyles revealed he had tested positive for COVID earlier in the week.
– Grant Holloway finally got an Olympic gold to go with his three world titles. He won in 12.99, his 5th time under 13 seconds this year. Daniel Roberts beat out Rasheed Broadbell by .003 seconds to win silver, making it another 1-2 for the U.S.
– Tara Davis-Woodhall won the women's long jump competition with a best mark of 7.10m, her first global title outdoors. Malaika Mihambo, the defending champion, finished in silver and Jasmine Moore won bronze. After her triple jump bronze earlier in the meet, Moore becomes only the 2nd woman in history to medal in both horizontal jumps in the same Olympics.
– Arshad Nadeem won the men's javelin competition in 92.97m, recording the 2 best throws in Olympic history in the process. It's the first track and field medal ever won by a Pakistani athlete.

They breakdown the women's 100m final, the mixed 400m relay (hello Femke Bol!), the shot put 1-2 from Crouser and Kovacs, and an unfortunate (or fortunate?) "doink" in the pole vault, plus preview the men's 1500m semifinals. The track has been on fire so far and so are Des and Kara!
And if you are looking for that video...

Day 2 of track and field at the Paris Olympics delivered unforgettable moments, surprises, and historic achievements. Some of the day’s top highlights include:
– Ryan Crouser made history with his third consecutive shot put gold, while U.S. teammate Joe Kovacs secured silver for the third time.
– Julien Alfred came out on top over Sha'Carri Richardson in the women’s 100m final, earning St. Lucia its first Olympic medal.
