SPARQ React Ball

Published by cooljames under Uncategorized Edit This

SPARQ REACT BALL

In accordance with yesterday’s discussion, I decided to introduce a training tool which will help develop reaction skills. This fun utility will allow you to build quick reactions, while maintaining athletic movements in a pleasurable environment. The SPARQ ball is created by SPARQ and supported by Nike, a largely used resource of training programs and accessories. Its primary utilization is based on its unexpected movements, forcing you to react quickly. If done at high velocity, this ball can work wonders for your reaction and also your hand-eye coordination.  A SPARQ Ball can be purchased at almost any athletic or bodybuilding store, largely endorsed by Dicks Sporting Goods. The SPARQ BALL drills build great athletic reaction for you.

Reaction Drill

Published by cooljames under Uncategorized Edit This

Most trainers place most bearing on strength, agility, power, and quickness. While all of these athletic qualities are imperative to superior athletic development, there are many athletic persona which many athletes display deficiency in, due to lack of related training.One of these important athletic qualities is reaction. Many people don’t realize its significance, but it is utilized heavily in every sport. In football, an athlete must blast out of his stance at the motion of his opponent. A basketball player must react quickly to the movements of his opponent’s feet, while in complete control of the ball. Baseball players must react to a base runner’s sudden movements, able to control his running about the bases. Basically, every sport requires a strong sense of reaction skills. Today, we will learn some reaction drills which will help strengthen this sense via http://www.brianmac.co.uk/reaction.htm

These drills help you to learn to respond to both sound and movements. In different sports, athletes are required to move on a sound, such as a pistol for a sprinter. Others are required to move off of movement, such as a nose tackle awaiting the snap. These simple drills can aid you in developing your reaction muscles.

Another exercise I used to do back in football days involved using a tennis ball. I would get down in my stance as a partner holds a tennis ball. He could make sounds or movements randomly, as long as he did not move the ball. It helped me to develop focus onto a movement, which helped me greatly as a blitzing linebacker

Weighted Plyometrics

Published by cooljames under Uncategorized Edit This

I am very happy that this blog is beginning to advance, and even more ecstatic about the reader participation. I recently received a message from a reader, asking me if he could use his home dumbbell set to add difficulty to his plyometric training setup. I had not planned to touch on this till later in the month, but refuse to leave a readers question unanswered.

Weighted plyometrics are definitely a great addition to any athletic or strength training program, though they themselves should no be conducted using heavy weights. They give your body an added challenge of resistance, training your body to work harder, building up even more strength to use on the playing field. Training your body with weights trains your body to work harder even when the resistance is not present. Weighted plyometrics can be performed using dumbbells, weight plates, resistance bands, and many other types of collateral. Though some trainers require trainees to choose between weighted or unweighted, I strongly support incorporating both into your workout program. Varying between the two will train your body to incorporate the workout you have done more properly, especially when in an athletic environment.
