Speed and Agility are two of the most fundamental skills an athlete needs to develop in order to succeed. If you can move faster and change directions quicker than your opponent, you have an automatic advantage.
Resistance and overspeed training is one of the most effective ways to improve your speed and first step quickness. Adding resistance to your run makes your body work harder to get the same distance, increasing your strength and power, which in turns allows you to move faster. Overspeed training on the other hand helps to teach your brain and nervous system how to move your limbs quicker, as well as increasing your stride length and frequency.
Agility is a person’s ability to react and change directions at speed. Many sports require you to react to what is happening around you, where the ball is going or where your defender is. Improving your reaction skills and agility will increase your ability to respond to plays in a game. Choose from a range of tools to help improve reaction time, learn how to change direction quick or increase footspeed.
Dome Kits and Accessories provide a range of tools to increase your speed and agility training routine. They are great for building obstacle courses or adding excitement to your training session.
Speed ladders are one of the most common tools used amongst many sports and in fitness sessions. While running, decreasing the amount of time you spend with your feet in contact with the ground (along with improving your power through the ground) can help you improve your speed significantly. Quick feet drills are also highly beneficial for those sports when you need to shadow a player with a quick step or to change directions in any game.
Step Hurdles are an excellent way for teaching knees up when running. A powerful knee lift can significantly improve your running technique. Not only are these great for improving technique they are a popular fitness tool.
