Athletic movement patterns can be broken down into three components…Speed, Agility, and Quickness. We define Speed as straight ahead speed, the ability to get from point A to point B in the fastest time possible. Agility is defined as the ability to decelerate, stabilize, accelerate and change direction without the loss of proper posture, speed, strength, balance or body control. Quickness can also be called reaction time. It is the ability to react to visual, auditory and kinesthetic feedback without hesitation and have the maximum rate of force production in all planes of motion during functional movements. Whether your goal is to develop into a world-class athlete or just improve in everyday activities, SportXcel will provide you with the most effective drills to improve in all three areas!
