1. Squat jump w/ stabilization - Box jump up/ down w/ stabilization - Multiplanar jump w/ stabilization (no box)






2. Box step up






3. torso stationary to ? effectiveness & ? injury to low back ( back strength)






4. Active- isolated - Reciprocal inhibition - Hold 1-2 sec - 5-10 reps - Gastroc w/ pronation/ supination - Supine bicep femoris - Plus all of the above stability/ static






5. 5-10-5 - box drill - T- drill - L.E.F.T. Drill






6. Ball Back Extension -Ball Crunch -Reverse crunch: swing legs -Cable rotation: pivot back leg to triple extension - stress on back






7. Exercises in scapular plane decreases risk of supraspinatus muscle becoming impinged bt head of humerus and coracoacromial arch of scapula. Ex: SL dumbbell scaption in shoulder stabiliation level






8. add rotation - (core strength)






9. Squat Jump - Tuck Jump






10. w/ assistance






11. O Regression: Hand to... Knee - Shin - Foot






12. add rotation - (core strength)






13. Static - Corrective - Autogenic inhibition - 1-3 sets - Hold 20-30 sec - Gastrocnemius- calf (hands on wall) - Kneeling hip flexor - Standing psoas - Standing adductor (looks like side lunge) - Pectoral wall - Lat ball - Upper trap/ scalene






14. its performed proone (tummy on ball) - Overwt people may need to perform in seated or standing position (vs. prone) (Stabilization back)

16. Seated Cable row - Seated lat pull-down






17. allow shoulders to elevate






18. Don't use ball for support - use as guide through squat motion - Make sure low back does not arch (caused by tight Lats & weak intrinsic core stabilizers) - Drawn in at all times (total body stabilization)






19. Exercises in scapular plane decreases risk of supraspinatus muscle becoming impinged bt head of humerus and coracoacromial arch of scapula. Ex: SL dumbbell scaption in shoulder stabiliation level






20. W/ pushdown - use rope? allows elbows to track through natural range of motion - risk compensation. - W/ barbell curls - watch hand and elbow alignment to ? stress on elbow and compensation. - W/ extension - maintain alignment of ankle - knee - hip






21. Active- isolated - Reciprocal inhibition - Hold 1-2 sec - 5-10 reps - Gastroc w/ pronation/ supination - Supine bicep femoris - Plus all of the above stability/ static
