KINETIC CHAIN® Training Sessions
the kinetic chain
A combination of several successively arranged joints.
What is the education?
KINETIC CHAIN® Training Education is based upon the concept introduced by Mechanical Engineer Franz Reuleaux in 1875: One joint is connected to another joint which the movement of one joint would affect the movement of another joint which creates a link of a kinetic chain.
Dr. Arthur Steindler, in 1995, adapted Reuleaux’s theory to the analysis of human movement, sport-specific activity patterns and exercise. He defined the kinetic chain as a “combination of several successively arranged joints constituting a complex motor unit.”
Why is it beneficial?
KINETIC CHAIN® education at Pilates South Texas is designed to complement fitness science principles of all modalities of exercise.
