Biomechanics & Movement Patterns
Biomechanics & Movement Patterns
Understanding Force, Gravity & Elasticity
- The bungee cord reduces impact, partially supporting body weight
- Cord elasticity increases resistance and rebound, requiring control
- Movements include push, pull, hinge, squat, lunge, twist
Teaching Soft Landings
- Emphasize controlled absorption with bent knees, glutes engaged
- Cue participants to land lightly on their feet and maintain core bracing
Progressions & Regressions
- Adapt based on strength, balance, and flexibility
Exercise
