Q & A for The 16% – Terminology Explained – Strategies, Orientations, and Actions

February 10, 2020 By Bill Leave a Comment

Question:

One thing that would help me better understand and apply some of the concepts you reference in your videos is aligning more precisely with terminology. Specifically, some of the terms/concepts you frequently use feel synonymous even though they are not. It sometimes confuses me.

For example, in an absolute sense exhalation strategy, compression strategy, and concentric orientation are not all the same idea. However, when we move away from the absolute and start talking about anecdotes, such as various ways powerlifters move, the correlation between the terms is sometimes very high depending on the specific example.

This makes it hard/confusing/error-prone to then extrapolate my understanding of the concepts to other practical or illustrative examples.

The list of terms I’d like clarity on, both in absolute and also as they relate to other terms in the list, are as follows:

  • Extension/flexion
  • Concentric/eccentric orientation
  • Overcoming/yielding action
  • Inhalation/exhalation strategy
  • Expansion/compression strategy

In this video: Each of these concepts is explained to give perspective as to why this terminology is useful to increase understanding of the model.
