TACTILE TRAINING SERIES – Part 2: Why Tactile Training Rewires the Brain
What if touch, sound, and rhythm are doing more for movement control than intensity ever could? This article explores how tactile input supports neuroplasticity, coordination, and long-term function, and why the brain should never be passive during training.
TACTILE TRAINING SERIES: Part 1: Is StickFit Vibrotactile Training?
Is StickFit vibrotactile training? Not exactly, and the difference matters. This article explains how tactile feedback from simple tools can activate the brain in powerful ways. It may not be high-tech, but it could be the missing link in smarter movement training.
The Missing Link: Ambidexterity in Fitness
Most people favour one side, causing imbalances and poor coordination. StickFit’s bilateral drills build ambidexterity and brain balance, improving symmetry and reaction time. Could Training Ambidexterity Transform Your Fitness? The answer might just surprise you.
5 Measures That Matter for Senior Independence
What if the way we measure senior fitness is missing the most important part? Real independence isn’t about how hard someone trains, but how safely and confidently they move in everyday life. This article explores what truly matters for healthy ageing.
Variety of Movement May Help Us Live Longer And Age Smarter
Harvard research shows it’s not just how much you move, but how many ways you move. Variety supports neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, helping us age stronger and smarter. This is why training the brain and body together may be one key to healthy ageing.
The Missing Piece in Most Warm-Ups: The Nervous System
Stretching prepares muscles, but neural warm-ups prepare the brain and nervous system. Activating coordination, rhythm, and awareness before movement improves balance, confidence, and readiness. StickFit stick patterns engage the brain first, making movement safer, more effective, and more connected at any age.
How Simple Stick Work Changes Brain and Movement
In StickFit, the ten sequential double stick drills are designed to train more than movement. They challenge how the feet, eyes, and hands work together while requiring good timing, distance awareness, and control. Both sides of the body are used, often crossing the midline. This requires both sides of the brain to work together, supporting better coordination, focus, and movement that carries over into everyday life.
