Top 4 Ways to Build Stability in the Developing Athlete – Part 3

In part 2 we focused on how landing mechanics can really help your absorb force more effectively, protect your joints, and reduce ground contact time! Today we’ll break down multi-plane movements more in depth and how they can really take your stability and performance to the next level!

Hitting All 3 Planes of Motion

Training in all 3 planes of motion is essential to mastering your movement and weight transfer in every direction! This will help you flawlessly transition from one movement to the next making you faster, quicker, and more explosive!

Sagittal 

Forward and backwards motion is in the sagittal plane of motion. This is where your base strength lies and is typically trained with your traditional movements like squats, deadlifts, bench and rows. Great for building foundational strength!

Frontal

This is the side to side plane of motion. Want to be quicker and more efficient in cutting and evading your opponents, this is where mastering the frontal plane of motion should be your go to!  

Transverse

The ultimate in sports, the rotational plane of motion! Rotation is king when it comes to most sports, and its not just your traditional rotation while swinging but also the ability to transfer your weight and move effortlessly through twisting and rotation of your body. This happens non stop in pretty much any sport that requires a lot of change of direction, so you better be training it effectively!

Multi-Plane Movement Matrix

The L-Skater masters movement in all 3 planes of motion. Start slow but then transition to fluidly combining all the movements together to have all 3 planes of motion flow together!
