Mini Air Tracks For Trainings Of Hurdle Running (Part 3)

In the previous two articles we have covered seven ways to improve your hurdle running using a small gym mat and today we will continue to share five more. This is the last article in this series and we hope that this series has been helpful to you.

Start the straddle leg and do the straddle middle hurdle exercise 2 in succession

Exercise method: Set up a small tumble track gymnastic mat into several "horizontal and vertical bridge mismatch" practice areas (the opposite of method 7), students stand in four-way columns and use medium speed to cross 3~4 hurdles.

Learning and practising focus: restrict the starting leg to go outwards, experience the lifting and pulling action of the starting leg, improve the ability to control the balance of the body weight.

Exercises to limit the landing point of the leg after crossing the hurdles

Exercise method: set up a small gymnastic mat as a number of "right after bridge stacking" practice areas, students stand in four-way columns and use medium speed running to cross 3~4 hurdles.

Learning and practising focus: limit the landing point of the starting leg, master the action of running forward after landing, experience the coherence of the hurdle action.

Exercises for crossing the hurdles with the swing leg and the starting leg in a coherent manner

Exercise method: set the gymnastics mat into several "double bridge misshapen" practice areas, students stand in four-way columns and use medium speed running to cross 3~4 hurdles.

Learning and practising focus: mastering the coordination of upper and lower limbs, experiencing the lifting, extending and pressing of swing legs and the stirring, spreading and pulling movements of rising legs.

Rhythm exercises for running between hurdles

Exercise method: set up a small gymnastic mat as a number of "flat mat under the bridge" practice areas, students stand in four-way columns, the distance between the bars is 5m~6m, and use medium speed running to cross 4~5 bars.

Learning and practising focus: mastering the inter-rail step and experiencing the rhythm of inter-rail running.

Rhythmic exercises

Practice method: set up a small gymnastic mat into several "double mat under the bridge" practice areas, students stand in four-way columns, with the distance between the hurdles being 6m~7m, and use medium speed to run across 4~5 hurdles.

Learning and practising focus: experience the rhythm of running between hurdles and the action of crossing hurdles quickly to improve the ability of hurdle running.
