Essential Exercise Sequence to Prep for COD

blog
The BPS CAMPS (CNS Activation & Muscle/Joint Preparation Systems) has a subdivision of SST (Suspension / Support / Trunk Systems).  SST Contains a Series called the Hip External Rotation Series.  This is crucial to prep for all multi-directional movements, SPECIFICALLY COD (changes of direction). Think about when you execute a sharp COD, and your COM (center of mass) has to get low to the ground. Think about the combination of hip flexion with hip-external rotation that occurs when moving OUT OF this COD. Simply put – the more ROM (range of motion) of hip flexion combined with hip-external rotation that can be controlled – the more efficient you will be in executing these types of COD.
Also keep in mind that the numerous variations of COD will have varying degrees of hip flexion / hip external rotation. However, that combination of hip movements will almost alway occur during COD. Our Hip External Rotation Series in the BPS CAMPS – SST Prep system specifically develops this motion.
