weight,
thus
requiring
additional
time
for
the
body
to
decelerate
in
order
to
prepare
to
jump
again.
Strength
also
becomes
an
issue.
However,
since
plyometrics
is
utilized
to
train
the
neuromuscular
system
to
respond
more
quickly
to
ground
impact,
use
of
the
Shuttle
Recovery
can
be
focused
on
muscle
recruitment
and
firing
instead
of
strength.
By
reducing
the
weight
of
the
body
at
impact,
reaction
to
ground
contact
can
be
increased
since
the
body
does
not
have
to
take
so
much
time
to
slow
itself
down.
IMPROVING
SPEED
The
combination
of
alternating
feet
and
decreasing
foot
contact
time
on
the
kickplate
while
equally
involving
the
hips,
knees,
and
ankles
in
a
kinetic
chain
can
be
important
factors
in
improving
speed.
1. Set
resistance
as
injury
and
condition
dictate.
Approximately
2
to
5
Elasticords.
2. Perform
high
speed
running
drills
on
the
kickplate.
(gradually
decreasing
contact
time
on
the
kickplate)
3. Bring
the
knees
right
up
to
the
chest.
4. Keep
the
hips
square
and
the
back
flat
to
maintain
a
lordotic
curve.
5. The
carriage
should
virtually
remain
in
place
while
the
workout
is
performed.
