Athlete Training Synchronization Techniques

In response to Kihara, Miura also began to align everything with her partner.

For example, the morning meeting time,

the start time of their warm-up,

the timing of their breaks,

and even, surprisingly, the timing of their meals.

At first glance, this might just look like they get along well.

But according to Takahashi, there is an extremely athletic rationality to it.

If we don't both switch on properly at the same time

and switch off at the same time...

Pairs actually require an immense amount of concentration just for practice.

Because we lift each other overhead and throw each other,

so it's a discipline where we entrust our lives to each other.

By aligning our meal times, the digestion time,

and the time it takes to get energy from what we ate also changes,

so we start aligning things from that level.

All of this is to concentrate at the exact same time.

It was already synchronization at the cellular level.
