9 Teaching proper landing is key! Requires eccentric strength A Leg to Stand On Teaching Control: - Proximal to distal - Even to Uneven - Static to Dynamic 9

10 A Leg to Stand On CORE FIRST: - Proper static activation - Endurance - Proper dynamic activation A Leg to Stand On Squats: Form for Landing Sit back and keep weight on heels Keep chest up, upper/lower back arched and tight, feet shoulder width apart Descend slowly until tops of thighs are parallel to floor Keep knees over midfoot and drive heels into floor 10

11 Teaching proper landing is key! Box step offs Initially, teach athlete to land on outside of foot, rolling to inside to dissipate forces As strength increases, athlete can land only on ball of foot Jump and Hop Progression 11

12 Landing phase Eccentric loading Amortization phase Time on the ground Plyometric Sequence Time between eccentric loading and concentric contraction Take off phase Concentric contraction Deceleration Training Proper position of the feet, legs, and upper body to dissipate forces is crucial for the prevention of injuries and for sports performance! Injuries primarily occur during deceleration and rotational circumstances 12
