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 / LINEAR

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

Butt Kicks

• Butt kicks are a quick activator of the hamstrings performed through proper speed mechanics
• Starting in athletic position, quickly lift your foot through proper knee drive
• The Bottom of your foot should almost always remain parallel to the floor. If someone is watching you from behind, they should NEVER see the bottom of your shoe.
• You DO NOT put your hands behind you to have your feet hit your hands
• This is almost like a high knee run, except you simply lifting your foot directly in line with the opposite leg. Both feet should be dorsi flexed, toe up.
