Vertical Leap (Gluteus Maximus, Quadricepts) |
| Whole body multi-joint multi-planar training targets the smaller and deeper lumbar spine, shoulder, and trunk muscles deep within the abdomen. Power is derived from the trunk region of the body. The transfer of force is often a function of how well the upper body and lower body are connected. By strengthening the trunk, the athlete creates a solid unit capable of developing and transferring forces from the legs through the trunk to the arms and possibly the implement (bat, golf club, hockey stick, basketball, javelin, discus, shot put, football, tennis ball). The sum of these integrated forces results in optimal acceleration of the ball, puck, or football. Core stability and balance are critical for good performance in almost all sports and activities. Some sports require good balance for movement purposes, some for producing force, and some for symmetry. |
