01 Mobility: Myofascial self-massage and mobilisation

Because we are activating our muscles, we roll a little faster than you might be used to. Feel free to roll slower if it feels more comfortable for you. If you hit a sensitive spot, pause for a moment and pay attention to that spot until you feel a release of tension.

Calf Activation

Angle one leg while sitting. Place the calf of the stretched leg on the fascia roller. Lift your buttocks off the floor. Quickly roll out your calf.

02 Activation of sport-specific muscle groups

Isolated activation exercises are designed to target specific muscles to increase intramuscular coordination and improve strength. You can achieve this with the following exercises.

Clamshell

Lie on side with bent legs and LOOP BAND around knees. Open and close knees by lifting upper leg. Heels stay together.

03 Movement preparation for more complex movement patterns

To finish off, prepare your musculoskeletal system for intense sprints or jumps with slightly more complex movement patterns. This improves neuromuscular control and fosters intermuscular coordination (cooperation between different muscle groups). Finally, activate fast-twitch muscle fibres with explosive resistance sprints.

Push-Up Walk

Begin in standard push up position with arms together and feet apart. Put LOOP BAND around ankles. Walk sidewards by alternately moving arms and legs.
