Acceleration A-Skip Series

In this video, you will learn/see:

  • The basic science and application of the different phases of the motion: 
      • Residual Phase
      • Recovery Phase
      • Transitional Phase (the primary focus of the Acceleration A-Skip Series)
      • Ground Preparation Phase
      • Ground Contact Phase
  • The application of the stretch reflex phenomenon that occurs within this Transitional Phase of motion and is exemplified with the various forms of the A-Skip
  • Demonstrations and coaching cues of the various exercises of this progressive sequence:
      • Acceleration A-Skip Rhythm – Individual
      • Acceleration A-Skip Rhythm – Continuous
      • Acceleration A-Skip Power
  • Approach to intensify the sequence by providing resistance to any of the above exercises which focuses on more force application and different load across the ankle joint due to the increased angle:
      • Push Sled Resisted
      • Pull Sled Resisted
