Body Conditioning for Breakers: The Breakalign Method

Body conditioning and physical fitness are, in more recent years, becoming more popular physical activities. Injury locations on the body differ depending on the style, which is why it is important to have injury prevention management relevant to the dance genre. The Breakalign Method was born out of the research work of the Project Breakalign team. It is a step-by-step conditioning programme, which takes the body through levels, and it was created through the biomechanical and physiological analysis of the technique of Breaking. Physical fitness consists of various aspects, all of which create a strong body capable of performing optimally, this being the goal of every dancer and athlete. Components of physical fitness are introduced and connected to the creation of the Breakalign Method. The break-down of an exercise variation example is also being presented, the conditioning for the Breaking move called the backrock.
