Alternating Arm & Leg Extension Core Performance Exercise

by Sean Cochran

The development of the stabilization capacities of the core is integral in the development of sports performance qualities within the athletic population. The health and fitness professional must recognize the process of developing the postural control, neuromuscular efficiency, and stabilization capacities of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex is sequential in terms of exercise stages. This sequential process will begin with basic stabilization...

TRX Suspension Trainer Jack Knife

by Sean Cochran

The lumbo-pelvic-hip complex (L-P-H) commonly referred to as the "core" is an integral component in sports performance and efficient human movement. What must be recognized about the core is the importance this anatomical section of the kinetic chain plays relative to stabilization of the spine, the creation of movement, the maintenance of postural positioning, and the generation of power in...

Glute Foam Roll Sports Performance Exercise

by Sean Cochran

Mobility in the kinetic chain is imperative for optimal performance, proper functioning of the kinetic chain, and the reduction in the potential of injury. If limitations exist in terms of joint mobility due to soft tissue tightness, the ability for a joint to move through its' intended range of motion will most likely be impeded. In order to improve joint range...

Kettle Bell Dead Lift Performance Exercise

by Sean Cochran

The kinetic chain of the athlete operates as a unit to generate speed, change direction, sprint, throw, hit, or run. Recognizing this base element of sports performance it is necessary for the athlete or coach to develop the kinetic chain as a unit. Utilizing this principle in sports performance training provides the opportunity of the programming to create a transfer...

T-Rotation Push Up Performance Exercise

by Sean Cochran

The rotary athlete competing in baseball, softball, tennis, golf, ice hockey, or lacrosse must recognize the importance of developing the strength parameters of the kinetic chain. It is important to recognize the body functions as a unit to execute athletic actions. As a result, developing the strength parameters of the neuromuscular system requires integrating the kinetic chain. The integration of the...
