Wall drills x 3

13/9/2020

0 Comments

 
  • Wall drill 1 – march and hold
  • The intention is to exercise the acceleration pattern, developing time under tension at the foot and ankle, then introducing fast contact, then adding a larger range of motion to the pattern.
  • Equipment needed: a wall.
  • Dosage: 4 to 5 repetitions should be enough, each side.  Hold the position for 5 seconds on each repetition.
  • Extra: Verbal cue: “hold the wall from falling over” will create tension from the hands, through the upper quarter, through the pillar to the stance leg – enhancing stability.
  • Progression 1: marching
  • Progression 2: load and lift
Before you go. You'll notice these drills start to resemble accelerating, in running. If you'd like a masterclass in running, check out a recent masterclass that Lance Walker did for me, called "Max Velocity Training for Physios".

  • The intention is to create accessory and physiological movement at the ankle
  • Equipment needed: a strong flat elastic band, a semi-circular foam roller or soft balance beam.
  • Dosage: no specific duration, but 10 repetitions should be enough.
  • Special Recommendation: apply the elastic band above the ankle, on the tibia, or below the ankle, on the talus – this will depend on which position creates better movement; move the knee laterally to the ankle.

  • The intention is to create warmth and fluid flow in the local tissue with rhythmical changes in pressure. Usually, this exercise plays a role in improving movement in the anterior fascial tissue, from foot to hips
  • Quick tip - do a bodyweight squat, then do this mobility drill, then re-test the bodyweight squat. 
  • Equipment needed: a foam roller
  • Dosage: no specific duration, but 10 seconds should be enough.
  • Special Recommendation: do NOT press so hard that pain is created. Move the ankle across the roller with firm pressure, medium speed.
