Did you know that? Training with small hurdles improves your strength, power and agility while strengthening your knees against injury. All of this thanks to the scientifically proven effectiveness of plyometric exercises, and the improvement of your coordination and joint stability.
The plyometric training par excellence
Hurdles are ideal for plyometric exercises, when the muscle rapidly alternates between theextension and contraction phases. That's what you do when you hop, for example.
This improves the strength and power of your muscles, thanks to the activation of physical mechanisms (eccentric force, elastic energy) and neurological mechanisms (activation of the stretch reflex).
You become more flexible, more agile. Better rebound and healthier support when running. You jump higher, and further.
Whether you are a cyclist, sprinter, footballer, gymnast: all athletes who need speed andexplosiveness will benefit greatly from plyometric exercises.
Boost your coordination
The hedge is also about coordination. It is an essential element for all athletes. Look at the chamois. They coordinate their gestures with their own in a fluid, agile and powerful way. They master jumping, running and bouncing to perfection, and adapt instantly to new and dangerous situations.
This is coordination: virtuosity in familiar gestures, and rapidadaptation to new situations.
Become more stable and prevent injuries
The hurdle means more stability in the joints and more safety in the movement. Plyometric exercises are effective in stabilizing joints and strengthening posture.
For example. A footballer runs, sprints, makes sudden changes of direction and passes with his legs. The knees are put to the test. If they are not stable enough, if they lack balance, the risk of trauma is increased.
Simple exercises with small hurdles are ideal training for safer practice. Hop over small hurdles and repeat regularly. You will refine your proprioception and prevent injuries and missteps.
