LINEAR – POWER SKIPS FOR DISTANCE

LINEAR – POWER SKIPS FOR DISTANCE
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.
Skips for Distance
- As stated, these are skips with the focus on distance. A speed mechanic exercise teaching the athlete to apply force to the ground with a specified outcome, distance.
- Unlike A-Skips or Power Skips, where focus and execution are separated, standard skips allow a smooth transition, pausing in the air between strides.
- Hand action should go from chin to hip, elbow 90°, arms opposite foot action
- Perform to distance prescribed
