@mad raven Puh, sehr kompliziert betrachtet. Ich sehe es genauso, dass man sich das "Zwischen den Extremen" betrachten sollte, STATUS QUO ist, dass das Ellenbogen-Raus in Kursen und Ausbildungen in einer extremen Form gelehrt wird (glaub mir, ich kenne die Ausbildungsunterlagen verschiedener Verbände etc.), nicht nur als übertriebene Demo sondern auch als Endform bei den Teilnehmer/innen. DANN wird als Gegenbeispiel gezeigt, wie es aussähe wenn man die Ellenbogen bewusst eng an den Körper legt (ellbows in quasi). Das sehe ich kritisch, ich empfehle sich einfach zentral aufs Rad zu stellen und den Lenker intuitiv zu greifen ohne darüber nachzudenken ob man nun künstlich die Ellenbogen rausdrehen sollte oder an den Körper legen sollte. So mache ich es und so coache ich es auch (leider machen das wohl kaum andere Coaches so und ich habe ja auch viele Jahre Ellenbogen Raus als wichtige Basis gelehrt. Schau Dir noch mal meins und Roxys Video dazu an, es geht hierbei viel um muskuläre Themen bei den Schultern und Prägungen, die man als Coach an die TN gibt.
P.S.: Ich könnte es jetzt selber formulieren, aber ich finde Roxy hat zwei wichtige Aspekte dazu schon in den Kommentaren unter ihrem aktuellen Ellbows-Video (Kanal Roxy Ride & Inspire) sehr TREFFEND ausformuliert:
"(...) There are SO much more important factors of a balanced stance on your mountain bike than the elbows. And it is scientifically proven that we can only concentrate on one thing at a time. If the beginner is now concentrating on his elbows, he will forget MUCH more important parts of the stance. Therefore actually correcting beginners’ elbows may cause MUCH more harm than do good. And even more if they are corrected to be too far out. (...)
(...) The elbows are a MINOR thing. What I mean is - if the rider is BALANCED through the feet. Is working arms and legs as a suspension and keeping the balance through the feet, then it is actually not even harmful, if the elbows are totally close to the body. But on the other side: if the elbows are OVER-rotated, then the balance is jeopardized - because with exaggerated elbows, people tend to get weight in their hands, riders tend to ride hunched and tend to forget about their balance (as i said earlier, you can only concentrate on one thing at a time). So the side effects of exaggerating this movement is MUCH more harmful than not focusing on it at all and THEN adjusting it when the balance is found. What I mean by this is: coaches focus on the elbows and not the balance. But the balance is what makes a really safe rider."
