不平衡消耗你的精神能量---特里

灰熊喱嗨

Though the brain makes up just 2 percent of the body’s weight, it consumes 20 percent of its energy. Normally about 50 percent of the brain’s energy consumption goes to managing balance. But when the brain senses imbalance–and particularly when it thinks you’re sinking–it goes into critical mode and  nearly 100 percent of its energy is consumed with trying to fix that.

虽然大脑仅占据身体2%的重量，但是它却消耗了20%的能量。一般来说游泳时50%的大脑能量用于维持平衡。但是如果大脑监测到身体处于不平衡的状态，特别是它认为你在下沉的时候，几乎100%的大脑能量会用来解决这个问题。

Until you fix ‘that sinking feeling,’ you have no chance of becoming comfortable or efficient.  And with that amount of energy waste, it makes no sense at all to try to ‘tough it out.’ Before tackling even the most rudimentary skills, we need to send the brain unambiguous signals that we’ve got control of body position. That frees up the mental energy to focus on skills that require some degree of calm focus.

除非你消除了这种下沉的感觉，否则你就不会在水里感觉舒服和有效率。考虑到会消耗如此多的能量，想办法死撑下去是不明智的。即使是练习最细微的技术，你也要给大脑明确的信号，你的身体是平衡的，你能够控制它。这样才能把你的大脑解放出来，用于更需要专注的技术环节

要给大脑明确的信号，你的身体是平衡的，你能够控制它。
