In this interview, Christina Prevett explains the definition of Valsalva bracing, how it's performed, taught, and cued, and how to make it better for weightlifting performance. We also talk about pelvic floor health in relation to lifting and pregnancy.
This is the second time Christina comes on the Evidence Strong Show. Previously, we discussed her survey on the outcomes for birth and postpartum for women who lifted heavy during their pregnancy. This time, we talk about her recent paper on Valsalva - bracing for resistance training performance.
Enjoy!
