Here’s an interesting video by Gil Hedley on “fuzz”. The fuzz concept relates to a phenomenon of accumulation of various covalent and hydrogen bonds, associated with formation of collagen fibrils, in your muscular and connective tissues. Too much fuzz equals reduced sliding of different tissue interfaces in relation to one another.
What?
Well, reduced sliding of these tissue interfaces (e.g. between two layers of a muscle) will increase the resistance you have to overcome during movement and will therefore reduce your capacity in the workouts (and life for that matter). Don’t take my word for it, check out what K-Starr has to say about the video.
So what’s the take home message here? Stretch! Mobilize! Foam roll! Stay active! Or let the fuzz take you..
