Context-related continuation of the triple extension pattern.

This exercise aims at increasing the capacity to engage in powerful changes of direction and the subsequent stabilization of the triple extension pattern.

The first phase consists of a deceleration effort. Drop from an elevated place and touch the ground with the contra-lateral knee behind the stance leg.

Immediately after, an explosive acceleration onto a box must follow. The outer leg absorbing and releasing the impact of the drop, the inner leg creating a momentum via hip flexion.

As you ascend, the swing leg hits the box. In the moment of contact assume the triple extension pattern as fast as possible and try to maintain the posture.

The coordinative challenges of this movement sequence could all be regarded as means of inner & outer perturbation which have to be answered according to the goal of assuming triple extension. Thus the triple extension pattern becomes more robust and durable, also under more strenuous conditions.
