LATERAL – SHUFFLE TO OPEN HIP SPRINT

DYNAMIC MOVEMENT

Dynamic Movements involve the second half of our Integrated Movement Prep. These movements are performed in a more rapid fashion. Improving muscle pliability, dynamic flexibility, helping establish better nervous system firing patterns by attempting to replicate specific movement patterns. They are performed both stationary or transit and have either a linear or lateral emphasis. It is important that these movements be performed in order when prescribed in a Dynamic Warm-up sequence.

TRANSIT / LATERAL

These Integrated Movement Patterns are categorized as Transit, with transitional movement, for Lateral Specific Speed Mechanic Drills.

Lateral Shuffle to Open Hip Sprint

  • Start in proper athletic position, hands near hips, back straight, feet shoulder width,

lateral to direction of travel

  • Begin with a 10 yds lateral shuffle
  • Either by command or at 10 yds, quickly apply the proper open hip technique followed by three powerful strides covering as much distance as possible in transition to linear sprinting
