Practice Solid Ball Throwing With The Air Track Mat (Part 3)

In the previous two articles we have presented four methods of solid ball tossing using the air track mat. This article is the last in this series. In this article I will give a brief review and introduce you to the last exercise method.

Review on previous articles

In the previous articles, we shared the solid ball toss after kneeling on the mat, the final strike exercise in a seated position, the final strike exercise in a kneeling position and the pushing exercise with one kneeling leg brace and explained the need for the air track mat in these exercises as it protects the athlete well from injury during the exercise. Next, let's move on to the last exercise I want to share.

Half-squat explosive stirrup and extension pushing exercises

Focus: lower limbs first and the process of momentum transfer from bottom to top; pushing the ball with the hands; left side support with the legs in stirrups and hips: shift the weight forward to send the upper body and do the abdominal tuck to maintain the body balance.

Method: Both feet open, shoulder-width apart, both legs bent at the knees into a semi-squatting position, upper body facing the direction of the throw, start with the upper body slightly to the right, lead backwards while shifting the centre of gravity downwards to form beyond the apparatus, the centre of gravity placed on both legs from the bottom to the top explosive force, quickly transfer the force master to the upper limbs, push the ball explosively forward and upwards, while the left leg upwards to support the brake.

Requirements: correct sequence of force, coordinated force, send the hips up, explosively push the ball out. By increasing and decreasing the number of body parts that participate in the pushing of the ball on the gymnastics mat, the body parts that participate in the exercise can be more fully experienced, and in addition, as the number of parts that can participate in the exercise is reduced, the movements made are more exaggerated and the amplitude of the movement is increased, which makes the experience more full and effective.
