Biomotor Output Framework
Optimize physiology
The Biomotor Output Framework focuses on optimizing physiological function to improve range of motion, force production, and power. It involves understanding the relationship between biomotor output and posture, as well as identifying areas for improvement through assessment and training. By applying this framework, individuals can enhance their physical performance and reduce the risk of injury.
- Biomotor output is critical for physical performance
- Posture and range of motion are essential for optimal biomotor output
- Assessment and training are necessary to improve biomotor output
- Assess Current Biomotor OutputEvaluate current range of motion, force production, and power to identify areas for improvement.Pro tipUse a combination of self-assessment and professional evaluation to get an accurate picture of current biomotor output.WarningBe aware of potential biases in self-assessment and seek professional help if needed.
- Identify Limiting FactorsDetermine the factors limiting biomotor output, such as poor posture or reduced range of motion.Pro tipUse tools like mobility assessments and movement screens to identify limiting factors.WarningBe cautious not to overlook potential underlying issues, such as chronic pain or mobility problems.
- Develop a Training PlanCreate a training plan to address identified limiting factors and improve biomotor output.Pro tipIncorporate exercises and drills that target specific areas of improvement, such as range of motion and force production.WarningAvoid overtraining or pushing too hard, as this can lead to injury or burnout.
An athlete with reduced range of motion in their hips and shoulders worked with a coach to develop a training plan to improve biomotor output. Through targeted exercises and drills, the athlete was able to increase their range of motion and force production, resulting in improved performance.
Dr. Kelly Starrett developed this framework through his work with athletes and individuals seeking to improve their physical performance. He recognized the importance of optimizing physiological function to achieve optimal biomotor output.
