2 to 1 Hop
Happy Monday! Hope you're able to hop into the week with as much enthusiasm as this patient! The 2 to 1 leg hop is a good regression from a single leg pogo hop if the patient does not have the power and coordination to complete that task. Give it a try to help to progress your power and plyometrics. #oneononephysicaltherapy #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #plyometrics #legday #resistancetraining #calisthenics #jump #arlington #gym #move #geriatrics https://www.instagram.com/r

ISOMETRIC MID-THIGH PULL
Isometric mid-thigh pull is strongly correlated to performance on dynamic tests such as 1RM (1 repetition max) testing and may be more efficient way to access 1RM without subjecting participants to multitude of exercises. https://www.ptpuremotion.com/_files/ugd/c7a45e_66b063db32f44b88af7fe93503f67671.pdf

IMPROVE SPRINTS
Hicks et al in April 2020 illustrated components of the sprint that helps guide coaches and clinicians to improve sprinting. There are 2 key phases of sprint: acceleration and maximum velocity. The athlete primarily produces horizontal force in the acceleration phase while primarily vertical force is needed at maximum velocity. They found that the whole spectrum of exercises ranging from low-velocity high-force resistance to high-velocity low-force resistance will help specif
