Concussions In Wrestling & Potential Help Of Adventure Race Training

By Rob Sutter


I can't help but notice the number of head-related injuries that seemed to have fallen upon World Wrestling Entertainment recently. The first one that came about in past couple of months was Dolph Ziggler's, which was a difficult pill to swallow considering that he is the World Heavyweight Champion. However, with ballroom wrestler Fandango suffering one of his own, it's clear that this is a problem. What impact would adventure race training have, though, and is it possible that it can lessen the amount of concussion seen?

When it comes to honing your physical craft, you're most likely going to take up multiple forms of exercise, never staying in one place altogether. This is the case for adventure race training, which includes a number of facets that you wouldn't be able to find in other forms of race. Between pushing oneself by moving faster and traversing one obstacle after the next, events like Spartan Race are proven tests of will. The more that I think about it, though, the more I believe that these can assist in the world of wrestling, too.

One of the aspects in which it can help is making sure that awareness is at a high level. Those who aren't fans may not know this but there is much more that goes into putting on a good match than just performing moves. Rather, it's a matter of understanding your surroundings and being able to utilize psychology in order to put on a contest that people will want to match. The moves that you execute should not be ones that legitimately hurt anyone, either.

When it comes to the specific reasons why injuries occur, I think part of that comes from the lack of exercise that is done. Keep in mind that these performers constantly travel from one venue to the next, meaning that the time left to limber up and take care of oneself is minimal. One has to wonder if these tough breaks would occur less if travel wasn't emphasized as much. You will find many people who will agree and it's hard to fault them, too.

I think that you have to take into consideration various regimens if you want to stay as strong possible. Some of them may require more in the way of discipline, which can be something of a problem. Is it possible, though, that adventure race training can come into the picture in a big way? I believe this to be the case and I think that if there's any way that someone can test their limits, this would be perhaps the best course of action for someone to take.
