Dryland Tip: Rhythmic Stabilization

Uploaded on July 5, 2012 by G_John

Purpose: Rhythmic stabilization helps an athletes react to outside force and maintain their body in a straight line, despite force being applied through the legs. Moreover, it improves frontal and transverse strength while forcing the swimmer to breathe.

Directions: Have the athlete lie on their back, and then have them brace their core and hold onto the sides of the table or ground for support. Next, have your partner apply a predictable pattern of force from all sides of the leg, challenging the athlete to maintain the same body line without altering positions.

Apply each press for approximately 3 – 5 seconds and repeat for up to a minutes.
