What are the agility drills?
Agility drills provide excellent speed training and help develop speed and coordination. The dexterity ladder is laid on the floor, so the athlete can run, step, jump or jump between partitions or on both sides depending on drilling. Simple agility drills include Hopscotch drill, Bunny Hops, Zig Zags and high knees.
Agility ladders are made of fabric or plastic and outlines a number of squares. In the absence of an agility ladder, you can draw lines for the ladder drills on the floor as the child could draw for Hopscotch, and the chalk lines would prevent potential trips. Athletes, however, more likely to notice a step on the nylon strap than the chalk line and it is more likely to correctly perform the ladder drill.
For the Hopscotch drill, the athlete should start bouncing the ladder at one end of the ladder. Athlete hops on the first square and landed on the ball Left leg. Then it emerges on the next square and in questionÁl on the balls of both legs. The athlete lands on the ball of the right leg on the third square, then again the balls of both legs in front and repeat the pattern to reach the second end of the ladder. This exercise should be completed as quickly as possible for maximum benefit.
Bunny hops is very simple: athlete hops from the square to the square, from one end of the ladder to the other, with both legs together. As with drills in the hops, the athlete should stay on the balls of the legs and not to allow the heels to touch the floor. The athlete should jump on every square as quickly as possible.
Zig Zags use space on both sides of the ladder. This ladder of Agility Drill can be done by jumping on alternating legs or both legs together. The athlete begins by standing on one side at one end of the ladder, then he or she jumps on the first square and continues by jumping to the opposite side next to the other square. In thisRu continues to cross and forth until it reaches the other end of the ladder.
When performing high knees, both legs enter each square. The athlete goes through the ladder and enters every block as quickly as possible. It should focus on running with raised knees and thighs parallel to the floor at every step.
When carrying out the ladder drills, it is important to maintain a good form. These exercises are often performed at the beginning of the exercise where the muscles are fresh. However, during training, the ladder drills may be effective and a number of exercises can be effective when the heart rate is increasing. Late drills in training are excellent for testing endurance and pushing endurance.
