Improvement of endurance
Trinicum training recommendation
1) leg axis training: targeted muscle building of the lower extremity on equipment
2) free-weight exercise: muscle building and coordination of the lower extremity and trunk
3) sensorimotor training on various unstable surfaces (bosu ball, slag line, cushion)
4) endurance training with the bicycle, later running training
In order to reach the patient`s goal, the training should be built up carefully and last for about 1 year, so that the body can be loaded 100% again. The first three months strength training of the surrounding structures plus flexibility training is necessary. After that, intensive strengthening of the leg muscles and the rest of the body begins. In the last months, the Achilles tendon can be heavily loaded.
Goals of the Trinicum motoric test:
Minimizing imbalance as well as building trunk stability and lower extremity strength, coordination and mobility must be increased from 40% to over 80% to achieve the goal.
