Agility and Quickness are
essential components of
fitness for any sporting
activity, but even more
important, skills that transfer
over to everyday functional
movement. Our brains ability
to process information
quickly, to respond and react
to any given situation is a skill
that can be trained and
improved regardless of ability
level. Once we train and
rehearse similar movements
over and over, that
movement becomes a learned
response resulting in better
agility and change of
directions as well as more
efficient faster moves.
Skipping ropes help our
timing and coordination with
faster footwork and greater
aerobic fitness.
Micro hurdles, ladders, agility
cones and markers allow us
to rehearse movement
patterns in and around
obstacles, creating
fast and explosive
footwork.
Reaction balls help us to read
changes in directions and
sharpen our minds as well as
our feet, creating fluent and
balanced movement.
QPEC are happy to advise on
these and other tools for
athletes wanting to
incorporate or maximize
agility and quickness training
as part of their workouts. |
