TRAINING
DEVELOPING POWER
IN AREAS THAT
CONVENTIONAL
WEIGHT TRAINING
CAN'T TOUCH!
Medicine Ball Training should be part of every strength and fitness training program for every athlete or client. Movements that require shifting, bending, rotating and balance are important in athletics and in life.
"MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL...!"
There are many movements in life and sports that involve acceleration while shifting or moving weight from one side to the other to complete a task. For example, a golfer can reduce risk of injury and improve performance by learning to transfer momentum from rear to front during a complete golf swing. Due to poor movement skills, many have not mastered patterns to complete these fundamental tasks (rotation, weight shifting, and balance, etc...), in a coordinated, efficient manner. Med ball training will help establish or re-establish these movement skills.
"BUILD STRENGTH THAT YOU CAN USE...!"
Training with medicine balls will allow your clients and athletes to develop power in areas that traditional weight training can't. The medicine ball allows the development of power in the core and teaches athletes and clients to link the upper body to the lower body. Chest throws develop power in the pressing muscles while simultaneous overhead throws develop power in the trunk flexors and the decelerative capabilities of the rotator cuff. Rotational medicine ball training allows the development of core power by linking the hands to the hips.
"KNOWING THE PAST SEEING THE FUTURE!"
Summary
The medicine ball is an invaluable piece of fitness training equipment that should be part of every kind of training program. Coaches, trainers, and rehab specialists need to remember that ultimate functional power is more important than strength. I believe it is safe to say that medicine balls are one of the most versatile tools for power development!
