Step Platform: Achieving Integrative Movements for Physical and Mental Health

2023-09-14 16:00:00

MIAMI.- Both sides of body , the left and the right They need to move in the same way in the activities they do to obtain greater benefits for physical and mental health. But not all exercises achieve that purpose, although with the step, through a platform of support for going up and down, this possibility is guaranteed.

From a scientific point of view, it has been proven that integrative movements help improve concentration by “forcing” both hemispheres to “work as a team.” Likewise, they improve cognitive skills. And if the step is started early, skills that involve both cerebral hemispheres are developed, as the portal points out.

By requiring repetitive movements on one side and the other when getting on and off the platform, the objective of moving both sides almost simultaneously and with the same intensity is achieved. That is why interest in this discipline is growing more and more because it is effective and also very fun, especially when done in a group. The importance given to it on a global scale is so great that there is an international day in April of each year called the STEP DAY.

That day, work groups from several countries show their choreographies whose movement patterns establish universal criteria. Each participant knows exactly what is being talked regarding when an instructor announces a particular sequence. For geographical reasons and especially following COVID-19, some participants show their videos on Line and the best executions are selected.

The construction of choreographies, whether sequences or choreographic blocks, is a job that depends on many factors, the most important of which is good handling of music, which is why this discipline requires the world of eighth and sixteenth notes.

Going up and down a ladder has its benefits, but doing it with a special platform can move the right and left sides of your body, producing very favorable benefits for physical and mental health.

“You must have complete command of Count 32, a special music that helps keep the beat on the step and allows you to carry out coordinated, methodical and punctual work in order to lead our students by the hand to achieve that satisfaction of being able to complete a task. choreographic class in a much more pleasant way following the maxim of one step at a time,” said the instructor of the FULLStep methodology, Juan Carlos Gutiérrez.

Basically you must be effective in communication, as with command tools with the class group, through practice develop the ability to anticipate so that students are not surprised when a new pattern is performed or added in the development of the class. Choreographic classes are made up of transitions and consecutive changes, he added

Step that generates automatic lead foot change: Elevo or Elevo Step. Neutral step that does not generate a change of leading foot: Basic or Basic Step. Neutral step that does not generate a change of leading foot: March or Marches.

Instructor Gutiérrez added that this allows movement patterns to be added in sequential order. To begin using this method, a guide is necessary that confirms the change of leading foot in the first and third musical phases of the 32T; the remaining times must be completed through marches until the musical structure is completed. Once this is done, you can start adding, preferably one step at a time so that the additions do not involve large amounts of musical times.

“This construction method plays with the concentration of the class group, through this tool we can incorporate or add steps in any musical phrase of our structures or blocks. In order to use this method, the first thing to take into account is that we must establish at the beginning of the work the movement pattern that guarantees the change of the leading foot, the position that we want to give to this pattern, either at the end or at the beginning, will change according to the type of insertion that is used,” concluded Juan Carlos. Gutierrez.
