Lateral shuffle
voorbereidingsvideo
An important component of change direction mechanics especially for an athlete with athletic groin
pain.
- Commonly we see in those with sufferings in athletic groin pain difficulties in producing or
controlling force in the frontal and transverse plane during change direction.
- we commonly see a loss of center of mass control whiles the stand leg resulting in excessive
trunk flexion or side flexion. Or excessive abduction and rotation of the hip joint.
- Dynamic hip impingement or excessive overload of the muscular tenderness structures at
the front of the hip and pelvis
Entry level exercise: is the lateral shuffle with a dial overhead
- here we twist down overhead and lower our center of mass in the athletic position. stick
overhead ensuring an upright posture and trunk stiffness from there we aggressively side
shuffle. Produce as much force as efficiently as possible in the frontal and transverse planes.
- Common errors: excessive trunk flexion, excessive trunk rotation or excessive trunk side
flexion. focus on maintaining the center of mass within the base support and keeping the dial
straight overhead.
Progression: add banded resistance to increase the difficulty to push off at speed but also maintain
lateral hip control and trunk control.
Further progression for this stream is to bring external stimulus where you have to react to an
opponent maintaining the same posture.
