Recovery Blocks
4Q Mobility of Foot
Horizontal Loading
Figure Skater Off Ice Training - Ankle Mobility
Primary Benefit of -
ULT Mobility: Extensibility with minimal neural threat primarily during flexion and extension.
UMT Mobility: Multi-planar mobility and extensibility.
LLT Mobility: Concurrent extensibility, stability and end range of motion positional strength in flexion and extension.
LMT Mobility: Concurrent Multi-planar extensibility, stability, and positional strength in odd-positions.
Breath is Important for Ice Dancers, Remember to use an Active 3D Breath Inhaltion in all six sides and connect to the core on the 3D Breath Exhalation to activate the NeuroCore. (Maybe Percusive Breathing)
Recovery Breath: 4-5 count Inhale/Hold/Exhale/Hold
Remember to notice what the body sense is telling you before and after each activity!
