- Definition and uses of co-contraction: intensify the arch, maximize projection, create elasticity.
- Elasticity: Allowing a joint to flex and then choosing the timing and intensity of the co-contraction to create different effects
- We can apply the co-contraction during flexion or extension of a joint.
- In rebote cadera (and patada), the mark for the projection is built in to the movement of the joint (Mark’s pulling obliques and attached arm), then the co-contraction (simultaneous in the blocking arm and leg makes elasticity.
- The revel will co-contract arms, allow hips to continue, and then co-contract legs. (consequence!)
