POOL DECELERATION WORK❗️❗️❗️ The art and success of changing directions efficiently in any sport is significantly dependent on the DYNAMIC ECCENTRIC load of the posterior chain. And this load needs to be trained at the Support System chain and the Suspension System chain leading into the trunk. The base is obviously built in the weight room. But there needs to be a transfer to the field. Hence, the DYNAMIC eccentrics - with all angles and diverging forces. And transferred into all aspects of the stretch-reflex (note the vertical, lateral, and horizontal plyometrics). Note the forces demonstrated here - vertical to lateral; lateral to vertical; double leg; single leg; lateral to lateral; fwd angle; back angle; 90-deg and 180-deg diverging force; and all AGGRESSIVE horizontal (straight leg rhythms, and the incorporation of the accel bounding). While this work is absolutely necessary, it’s aggressive. This is why it’s so effective in the pool. The muscle action is high so the...
