The "K" in P.E.A.K. Performance Program
The "K" in P.E.A.K. Performance Program
The "K" in P.E.A.K. Performance Program stands for Kinesiology. Kinesiology refers to the study of movement. In academia terms, it is used to describe a multifaceted field of study in which movement or physical activity is the intellectual focus. Physical activity includes exercise for improvement of health and physical fitness, activities of daily living, work, sport, and play; it involves persons with disability, injury or disease; and athletes. Kinesiology in reference to A.D.D. is about redirecting the excessive movements (“Kinesiology”) inherited with the ADD/ADHD person. Thus, the Kinesiology aspect is the fine-tuning of the one’s biomechanics and physiology toward accomplishing purposeful tasks.
Kinesiology has a different meaning across the pond in Europe and Asia. On the other side of the pond, Kinesiology is a holistic system of natural health care that uses muscle monitoring to communicate directly with the body. It can assess a person’s response to any stimulus. It draws on the principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Those who practice traditional Chinese medicine are commonly referred to as TCM doctors. They can evaluate body function through the muscle-meridian relationship. It can also establish connections between imbalances, put them in order of priority and determine the most effective treatment. These techniques restore balance and create sustain health for more effective functioning. Kinesiology also draws on and integrates other therapies and healing modalities and can be used as an adjunct to any therapy.
The people with ADD often have “misguided chaotic movements”. Some have a certain “stick-to-it” attitude toward their goals when they find their passion. So, as part of the PEAK performance program, the goal is to find that “inner passion” and work toward those goals passionately.
As a side note, the K could stand for Knowledgeable, Kind, and Keen.
