Developing these qualities correlates with improvements in your speed, jumping, change of direction, and reduce your susceptibility to injury👌🏻
.
Hinge, lunge, push and press are some of the movement patterns that generally occur on the pitch⚽️
.
You can use kettlebell swings (hinge) coupled with double-leg bounds (explosive movement) to promote horizontal power that could ultimately be transferred into better acceleration due to greater muscle fibre recruitment⚡️
.
‼️Please note: Kettlebell swings should be performed with feet flat (not demonstrated well here) and hinging at the hips, as this allows greater activation in your posterior chain
.
❗️Also your double-leg bounds should be characterised by a short ground contact to increase stiffness and rate of force development but performed with control and correct arm jumping mechanics💪🏻⚡️⚽️
.
Power exercises should be executed at the beginning of the training session to avoid interference of fatigue and to produce the maximal power output (i.e. necessary stimulus to enhance muscular power)
