Amphiarthrosis
Deutsch: Amphiarthrose / Español: Anfiartrosis / Português: Anfiartrose / Français: Amphiarthrose / Italiano: Anfiartrosi
Amphiarthrosis in the fitness context refers to a type of joint in the human body that allows only slight movement. Unlike the freely movable synovial joints, such as the shoulder or knee, amphiarthroses provide stability and support while still permitting some movement to occur, which is crucial for absorbing shock and allowing subtle movements that contribute to overall mobility and flexibility.

Shiatsu
Deutsch: Shiatsu / Español: Shiatsu / Português: Shiatsu / Français: Shiatsu / Italiano: Shiatsu
Shiatsu in the fitness context refers to a form of traditional Japanese bodywork that uses finger and palm pressure to improve the flow of energy (known as "ki" or "chi") in the body.

It is frequently used by individuals in fitness to complement their training regimen by aiding in recovery and preventing muscle tension and injury.
