The development of speed, power, and the ability to change direction in sport requires the athlete to generate high force output levels in a short amount of time. The ability to create maximum performance in these aforementioned sport components requires power. Power is in the most basic terms strength plus speed. The ability of the strength and conditioning professional to...
The ability of the core anatomy to transfer energy from the lower extremities to the upper body, maintain postural positions, and oppose external forces is imperative to sports performance. The greater efficiency by which the kinetic chain can fulfill these requirements of sports the greater potential for success by the athlete. Improves Your: Core Stabilization & Anti-Rotation Capacities Target Area: Musculature of...
The generation of power from the lower body is integral as it pertains to speed development, triple extension, ground reaction forces, and the translation of energy through the kinetic chain. Athletic performance in the majority of sports require lower body power and as a result the development of lower body power is a cornerstone of any strength and conditioning program. Improves...
The core is an integral part of performance training as this anatomical area of the kinetic chain is integral in the stabilization of kinetic chain during athletic actions, a generator of rotary power, and integral in the transfer of kinetic energy from lower extremities to the upper body. Recognition of the importance this anatomical section of the body plays in athletics it is imperative the development...
The generation of power from the kinetic chain is imperative in sports performance. Speed, agility, and overall athletic performance is dependent upon this component. That being said, regardless of sport, power development is a key component of any strength and conditioning program. Improves Your: Upper Body Push Power Target Area: Prime Movers of the Shoulder Joint Why Its’ Important: Power generation is strength...
