Speed rises only as the square root of the height of the fall. By the way, you start endangering your limbs at about twenty feet per second (depending on your age and physical condition). Gravity will accelerate any object at a rate of 32 feet per second per second. After two seconds we reach 64 feet per second. The speed rises as the square root of height, but in direct proportion to time.“
UpRight Movement’s seven physical PERFORMANCE standards are a series of accurate, reality-based movement tests designed to determine the functional ability of your body. Each test demonstrates your ability to perform the movements (both Fitness and Performance) necessary to move through your life without being vulnerable to injury. If any of these movements are difficult or not currently possible, we are able to develop specific routines that help you to safely restore, balanced movement patterns.
UpRight Movement redefines fitness as the ability to consistently thrive and function within the demands of your environment.
TEST #1: STATIC LUNGE HOLD (Lunge Pattern)
The Lunge pattern essentially is a freeze frame picture within upright locomotion, (walking, jogging, running and sprinting). Essentially this is one qualifier to running.
TEST #2: PUSH-UPS (Trunk Stability PRONE)
The trunk stability within the push-up is one example of one’s reflexive ability to stabilize the spine while performing a total body movement, which is inclusive with the shoulders, trunk and hips while resisting gravity’s extension force on the body. Essentially this is one qualifier to upright total body pushing movements.
TEST #3: AIR BENCH (Squat Pattern)
The squat pattern within the air bench is one example of lower body strength that is essential to standing. Essentially this is one qualifier of the upright function of the hips, knees and ankles.
TEST #4: CHIN-UPS (Shoulder Mobility)
The shoulder mobility within the chin-up is one example upper body mobility and strength. Essentially this is one qualifier to upper body overhead pulling and pushing movements.
TEST #5: REAR DELT HOLD (Trunk Stability SUPINE)
The trunk stability within the rear delt hold is one example of one’s reflexive ability to stabilize the spine while performing a total body movement, which is inclusive with the shoulders, trunk and hips while resisting gravity’s flexion force on the body. Essentially this is one qualifier to upright total body pulling movements.
TEST #6: STATIC SUPPORTED HANDSTAND (Shoulder Mobility and Trunk Stability)
The shoulder mobility and trunk stability within the static supported handstand is one example of one’s reflexive ability to stabilize the spine while performing a total body movement, which is inclusive with the shoulders, trunk and hips while resisting gravity’s compressive force on the body. Essentially this is one qualifier to upright total body overhead pushing movements.
TEST #7: UPRIGHT MOVEMENT SHUTTLE (The Biped Test)
The emphasis within this test confirms our functional ability to perform within our body’s primary movement blueprint and signature under the demand challenges of; strength, muscular endurance, respiratory endurance, coordination, and balance. Essentially this is one qualifier to upright total body function.
