The Aerial Movement® ACROBACIA & CALISTENIA AÉREA VOLUMEN 1 (VERSIÓN COMPLETA: MINI BOOK 1 DINÁMICOS + MINI BOOK 2 SLOW MOTION) es un nuevo enfoque sistemático para el entrenamiento aéreo que incluye teoría, práctica y unametodología única que combina biomecánica, entrenamiento programado, técnica, acondicionamiento y entrenamiento físico, y ejercicios preparatorios. Enfocado en la progresión, el desarrollo, y la ejecución de movimientos dinámicos, explosivos y a "cámara lenta" en acrobacia aérea y calistenia aérea, este programa se creó como resultado de un análisis detallado de los movimientos. A través de este análisis, cada movimiento ha sido dividido en sus componentes básicos, como los "eslabones" que forman una larga "cadena". El objetivo de este manual es trabajar de forma gradual y metódica para sentir y comprender la clave de los movimientos en acrobacia aérea y calistenia aérea. Existen muchos caminos para llegar al mismo destino; The Aerial Movement® Volumen 1 es solo uno de ellos. Algunos de los temas tratados en este manual se han resumido a partir de publicaciones científicas y se seleccionaron en función de su eficacia con la finalidad de ayudar a los estudiantes a alcanzar sus objetivos en la acrobacia aérea y calistenia aérea. Seamos artistas de circo, acróbatas aéreos o amantes de la calistenia aérea, profesionales o "amateurs", llegados a este nivel, somos atletas. Si bien se han tomado todas las precauciones en la preparación de este manual, el autor no asume ninguna responsabilidad por errores u omisiones, o por problemas o daños resultantes directa o indirectamente causados o supuestamente causados por el uso de la información contenida en este manual.

The Aerial Movement® AERIAL ACROBATICS & CALISTHENICS VOLUME 1 (MINI BOOK 1 DYNAMICS) is a new systematic approach for aerial training that includes theory, practice, and a unique methodology that combines biomechanics, programmed training, technique, conditioning, and preparatory exercises. Focused on the progression, development and execution of dynamic, explosive, and slow motion movements in aerial acrobatics and aerial calisthenics, this manual was created as the result of a detailed movement analysis. Through this analysis, every movement was broken down to its basic components, like the “links” that form a long “chain”. The aim of the manual is to work gradually and methodically in order to feel and understand the key movements in aerial acrobatics and aerial calisthenics. There are many paths that lead to the same destination; The Aerial Movement’s Volume 1 is just one of them. Some of the topics presented in this manual have been summarized from scientific publications, and were selected based on their effectiveness in helping students attain their aerial acrobatics and aerial calisthenics goals. Whether we are circus artists, aerial acrobats or calisthenics enthusiasts, or consider ourselves professionals or amateurs, at this level, we are all athletes. While all precautions have been taken in the preparation of this manual, the author assumes no responsibility for errors or omissions, or for problems or damages resulting directly or indirectly caused or allegedly caused by the use of the information contained in this manual.

Bendy Kate has used her knowledge from her degree in Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation, combined it with her 10+ years as a professional athlete to create this educational resource for coaches, both professional & recreational athletes and therapists. The aim is to try and increase the education and understanding of these sports and to better prepare the body for them.
The book begins with a long introduction where you can learn basic human anatomy and physiology. It then goes into the Injuries Chapter, which focuses on variables that can lead to injury, common types of injury in upside down sports, the results of Bendy’s study on injuries in upside down sports. Bendy discusses treatment and therapy options, as recovery should never be done completely alone! From there the book is separated into body parts, starting with the head and finishing with the feet. Each chapter begins with background information on anatomy and common injuries of the body part in question. Bendy believes there are 3 simple steps to rehab/prehab success: Mobility, Stability and Recovery. Therefore in each body part chapter you will find a section of active stretches to increase range of movement, strengthening exercises beneficial to upside down athletes and finishing with a soft tissue release section which you can use in your cool downs. Each chapter contains hundreds of exercises with clearly illustrated images and text to explain the exercises. Exercises are group together according to their muscle group or function (i.e. rotator cuff, or proprioception exercises).

The book contains thousands of images showing a wide variety of rehab and prehab exercises and lots of anatomy images to help the information sink in effectively. Most exercises are difficulty coded so you can understand how to progress or regress the difficulty.

Specifically designed for aerialists—including those who do trapeze, silks, and other aerial arts— Applied Anatomy of Aerial Arts is an invaluable resource for those who want to optimize their performance and train safely.

Using a biomechanical and movement-based approach, Emily Scherb, a physical therapist who specializes in the care, treatment, and education of circus performers—explains the anatomical rationale for progressions of learning and demonstrates simple movements to achieve the coordination, muscular control, strength, and fitness to hang 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.

Aerialists will learn how bones, joints, muscles, and soft tissues allow for specific movements and gain an appreciation for concepts of proximal stability.

This full-color illustrated guide lays a solid foundation for beginners and 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. [editor summary]
