Suggested Talk Show Interview Guest Introduction by Host:
When it comes to exercise, we hear a lot about weightlifting and running. But did you know that spinning is one of the best ways to get in shape? Yes, spinning stimulates the body’s vestibular system. That’s the eyes and ears processing back into the brain.
According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, “The vestibular system provides the sense of balance and the information about body position that allows rapid compensatory movements in response to both self-induced and externally generated forces.” The vestibular system is located in the inner ear and acts like a miniaturized accelerometer and inertial guidance device.
Your brain analyzes the vestibular system information about the position of the head and body relative to your surroundings. Vestibular Training Services provides training products to develop and improve vestibular awareness in athletes and others. So, Spinning Training provides rotation, axis, balance, proprioception, and crossing the midline.
Master Coach Sheila Thelen has used Spinning Training with Olympic-class athletes but now she is applying these world-class vestibular & sports training tools to the public. Sheila joins us so we may learn more.
Suggested Talk Show Interview Questions:
What is the vestibular system and why is it important?
The vestibular system is part of the nervous system and provides special awareness (proprioception) and self-motion (kinesthesia). It is important to know where you are in relation to the field, equipment, or arena. With athletes, the vestibular system allows them to know where they are in relation to things and others while they are participating in a sport.
How do you spin a person?
We start with balance measurements on a biometrics balance mat to determine the position of your head and the way you balance between feet, then place you into a harness connected to the ceiling through a pulley system. Then you step onto a rotating platform, and we start spinning. Slowly at first then faster as you improve.
How does spinning help improve your performance?
The data we have collect seems to indicate that even when spinning exceeds 5 rotations per second there is no dizziness with training. We even throw colored sticks at the participant after the spin, they are able to catch the appropriate color of the stick handle. This illustrates how fast their cognitive abilities are affected by spinning.
Tell us about some of the athletes you trained with your methods?
How does spinning help balance?
For radio interviews, Sheila can explain verbally. For TV interviews she can demonstrate: Let’s try it out! (TV Hosts or audience members) We can pre-test their balance on the biometrics mat (10 seconds) Then Vestibular Spinning. Then post-test their balance. Improvements will be seen.
Where may we go to see spinning in motion and learn more about vestibular spinning training, or even buy a spinning machine?
