Key ideas in Athletic Performance and Strategy
- Pre-tensioning muscles reduces the 'slack' time before an explosive movement
- A lower center of gravity reduces the tipping moment when changing direction
- A dynamic stance requires active engagement of the core and glutes to stay springy
- Deep knee flexion allows for a wider base, increasing the force applied to the ground
- The ready position is a state of active tension rather than a relaxed pose
- Lowering the center of gravity improves lateral agility
- Heel-loading creates a 'braking' effect
- Weight on the balls of the feet allows the calves to act as reactive springs
- Pre-tensioning muscles reduces slack time
- Triple extension is the simultaneous straightening of joints
- Weight distribution on the balls of the feet
- Hips generate force while ankles provide final acceleration
- Lowering center of gravity improves agility
- The sequence of triple extension
- Reactive balance uses the lower body to isolate the head from external impacts
- Weight distribution on the balls of the feet for multi-directional response
