Abduction and adduction of the leg in standing position (right) ► skater pushes

Individual work

Easy squat position (legs shoulder-width apart) with upper body leaning forwards, arms bent (approx. 90 degree angle at the elbow joint - upper arms close to the body, forearms pointing forwards at the level of the navel, possibly clasp hands / or rest hands on the hips), stretch an elasticated rubber band between the legs (place band around the ankles). From this position, push one leg (right) backwards at an angle (abduction of the leg and extension of the hip) and return to the starting position.

Attention:
The movement only takes place in the leg/hip (upper body remains stable).

Lighten:
Select a rubber band with less resistance.

Harden:
Select a rubber band with greater resistance.
