Sports physiotherapy in optimization of movement stereotypes. If the physiotherapist wants to change movement patterns is needed to know the periodization of training cycle. Work on changes of movement stereotypes can lead to impair of technical skills and a temporary drop in athletic performance.
A good time for inclusion of kinesiotherapy is in the transitional period. Sometimes we can place it after the main peak of the season, if other races are not so important.
Some athletes implement the kinesiotherapy in the whole training programmed. They realize that it is a good investment in the future health and serves to eliminate the impact of professional sport. It was suggested that rehabilitation in sport can play a high role in preparing athletes. But it cannot substitution the whole training programmed. It serves as a complement of training programmed to improve performance. Also it eliminates health risks of unilateral overload.
From experience with top sport we can say that this opportunity is not used with Czech athletes and sports clubs mostly due to bad economic situation. Raise awareness of this possibility is also one of the tasks of a physiotherapist, who in his practice deals with the care of athletes.
