To work the agility and coordination We can use several materials that are very accessible and quite economical:
Before you start with the exercises, you should keep in mind the following aspects:
Depending on the material you use, you can do some exercises, so we give you options for all:
placing the hoops in one or two rows you can alternate the supports, make jumps to one to two legs and even to the opposite side
Hoops technical training career
You will have endless possibilities with this material. Alternate supports inside and outside the ladder, forward, backward, sideways, jumps, etc.
It is an excellent material for more specific technique work. Depending on the height you will find different possibilities. A highly recommended exercise with this material is to practice the stride amplitude. The more you separate the fences from each other, the greater the amplitude, so you can play with the number of supports between fences.
They are widely used for circuits with changes of direction, either forward or backward or with lateral displacements, zig-zags, etc. These types of exercises are the simplest and are usually performed at high speed.
Even if you do not believe it, all the exercises that we are talking about demand high concentration and cause a lot of fatigue, so we advise you to do them at the beginning of the training between once and twice a week.
