What types of equipment are utilized?
It depends on the athlete’s age and developmental level. We will typically begin with one’s own body weight and gravity as resistance. Further progression will involve equipment such as medicine balls, resistance cords, dumbbells, unstable devices, stability balls, slide boards to name a few. The advantage of this type of equipment is that is emphasizes full freedom of movement in all planes of movement at varying speeds and levels specific to one’s sport. Traditional forms of weight training such as Olympic lifts and plyometrics will also be used in strength and power development.
