The Name

Where did the name Complementary Training come from? Well, it took me a while to really ‘conceptualize’ what I truly believe in, and complementarity is one of the things. The first time I came across this concept was while reading the Dynamics of Skill Acquisition: A Constraints-Led Approach by Keith Davids et al.

In this book, there were references to papers and books by Scott Kelso, a neuroscientist I had already heard of but had never actually researched. Some of his books include Dynamic Patterns : The Self-Organization of Brain and Behavior and The Complementary Nature.

Thus, the Complementary Training is taken from the title of the latter book. For more info about complementary nature, squiggle sense, coordination dynamics, and complex systems, I highly suggest checking the Complementary Nature website.

What does all this have to do with training and nutrition, you ask? Well, keep on reading the blog.
