Abduction and adduction of the leg in lateral position (right) ► abduction / adduction sidelying
Power
Individual work


Lying on your side, place your right leg bent on the vaulting box element. Raise and lower the leg.
Attention:
The lower leg remains parallel to the support. When raising and lowering the leg, always keep the knee and ankle at the same height.
Lighten:
Lift the training leg less.

Abduction and adduction of the ankle joint in the sitting position
Power
Individual work
In the seated position, the upper body is tilted slightly backwards, both feet are lifted off the floor and the slightly bent legs are pointing diagonally forwards. Stretch an elasticated band between the legs (place the band around the instep/soles of the feet). From this position, rotate the ankles so that the feet point towards each other (big toes together) and away from each other (toes pointing diagonally upwards away from the body).
Attention:
The movement only takes place in the ankle joint (both legs and upper body remain stable).
Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.
Harden:
Choose a rubber band with greater resistance.

1 seating option (e.g. chair, plyo box or vaulting box)
Alternating abduction and adduction of one leg while standing ► skater pushes
Power
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, alternately push one leg out diagonally backwards (abduction of the leg and extension of the hip) and return to the starting position. The movement can be compared to speed skating (skater pushes).
Attention:
The movement takes place exclusively in the leg/hip (upper body remains stable).
Lighten:
Choose a rubber band with less resistance.
Harden:
Choose a rubber band with more resistance.

Abduction and adduction of one leg in supine position (circular movement) (left) ► one leg circle
Power



Back position, one leg stretched out in a high hold (left), the other leg (right) lying flat on the floor or bent with the foot flat on the floor. The greater the mobility, the more vertically the leg can be raised into the hold-up position. Place your arms flat on the floor at your sides or place your hands under your buttocks. Perform circular movements (in both directions) with the raised leg (spread the leg apart and bring it back to the centre).
Attention:
Keep the (lower) back in constant contact with the floor (no hollow back, consciously tense the abdomen), do not put the leg down.
Lighten:
Just hold the position (leg extended slightly off the floor); smaller range of motion.
Harden:
Additional weight for the leg.
Variant I:
Spread the leg without circular movements and bring it back to the centre.
Variant II:
Move the leg up and down.

Abduction and adduction of a leg in lateral position (left) ► clamshell
Power
Individual work
Sideways position on the left side of the body, with the legs pointing diagonally backwards. The upper (right) leg is supported on the lower leg (or slightly lifted off the lower leg). An elasticated band is stretched between the legs (place the band around the thighs slightly above the knees). The lower arm supports the head, the upper bent arm supports the upper body by placing the hand on the floor at the level of the navel. From this position, spread the upper (slightly bent) leg apart (stretch/stretch the band further) to perform an external rotation in the hip. Then lower the upper leg back to the starting position.
Attention:
For greater intensity, do not rest the upper leg completely on the lower leg (always at a slight angle).

Figure of eight
Basic training
Group work
6-24 participants per post
At the corner points of the route (the route symbolises a square number "8"; this results in 6 corner points, as the intersection/intersection point is not included), the participants spread out as individual runners or in small groups of 2-4 people. The running direction is the same for all participants and is predetermined (it may be necessary to change direction from time to time). The runners at the corner points 1/4 start simultaneously to the next corner point, where a handover to the next runner/group takes place (in the case of group work, the start only takes place as soon as all previous runners have reached the corner point). According to the time set by the sports director, the runners continue uninterrupted on the circuit (apart from the respective breaks at the corner points).
Course: 400m course in the form of a square number "8" (approx. 50m per section)
Intensity level: 3 (medium)
Hmax: 80-90%
Speech rule: speak in full sentences
Note: When meeting in the centre, observe the right of way
Variant:
Integrate additional tasks for the waiting runners at the corner points: e.g. push-ups, squats, trunk bends, jumps, etc.

Air-Bike
Power
Individual work


At first glance, the air bike looks similar to a bicycle ergometer or a spinning bike. However, the difference lies in the fact that not only the legs but also the arm and core muscles are used, as these are required for the movement of the air bike. As the handles are pulled along with the hands, the legs and arms move simultaneously.
As the name suggests, the special feature of the air bike is the air resistance. The intensity of the training is regulated solely by the air resistance. The faster the pedalling movement, the greater the air resistance, and therefore the more strenuous the training. On the one hand, this ensures intuitive operation of the device, which is an additional fun factor for many athletes, and on the other hand, the air resistance ensures that the joints are protected.
