(SAFE SWOR)
What is the goal of Limon technique?
To achieve length, stretch and strength in swings, off-center turns and suspensions.
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to the relationship of the body parts to one another, being completely neutral without holding tension?
Alignment
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to the way the body parts move in a chain reaction, especially in the spine?
Succession
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to using the 5 extremities to pull equally and create length?
Opposition
What is the “travelling high point”?
The highest point of the spine, which can move in opposition
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to the unreleased capacity for movement?
Potential energy
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to the motion capacity stored inside the body?
Kinetic energy
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to the transformation of potential energy to kinetic energy, and motion that accelerates as it moves down?
Fall
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to the quality of movement that allows one body part to fall while the rest does not?
Weight
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to redirecting kinetic energy and continuing to swing with centrifugal force?
Recovery
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to redirecting kinetic energy and contracting the muscles to spring back to where they came from?
Rebound
What is the name of the technical concept that refers to prolonging the peak of a movement and delaying the influence of gravity?
Suspension
