Summary:
"An illustrated guide to anatomy and biomechanics for
aerialists
who want to optimize their performance and train safely Emily Scherb
--
a physical therapist who specializes in the care, treatment, and education of circus performers
--
offers the first comprehensive anatomy book specifically designed for
aerialists
(including trapeze, silk, and other aerial arts). Using full-color ill. and photographs, this book shows aerial artists how to perform at their best while protecting their body from injury with correct form, precise alignment, and good
training
habits. Using a biomechanical and movement-based approach, Scherb explains the anatomical rationale for progressions of learning and demonstrates simple movements to achieve the coordination, muscular control, strength, and fitness needed to move safely and seamlessly through the air.
Aerialists
learn how bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues allow for specific movements and gain an appreciation for concepts of proximal stability. They discover the secrets of hanging with correct form, how to progress from hanging into a pull up, an inversion, and beyond with a strong center, precise muscle sequencing, and ease of movement. Anatomy of Aerial Arts lays a solid foundation for beginners and also provides advanced students with a wealth of insights into their own performance as well as refreshers on fundamentals in warm ups and conditioning. It explains how to structure a
training
session, how to care for injuries, and best practices for basic self first aid."--Publisher.
