---------------------
Overview:
-- Functional Shoulder Training for
Athletes provides a detailed package
of exercises designed to integrate
the shoulder into the rest of the
body’s kinetic chain.
-- A must for any throwing athlete, the
DVD covers exercises that are much more
specific to the demands placed on the
shoulder than ever before.
-- Because throwing, swinging, and
spiking are explosive, rotational
movements involving the entire kinetic
chain, training should be specific to
those movements.
-- Using medicine balls, wobble boards,
stability balls, and free weights, the
DVD shows the viewer how to build a kinetic
chain with no weak links.
---------------------
Topics Covered:
-- Scapular stabilization exercises
-- Training the decelerators (where
most injuries occur)
-- Integrating the rotator cuff into
the rest of the body
-- Integrating explosive rotation of
the upper body and shoulder in multiple
directions and planes
-- Utilizing the body’s natural movement
and patterns (such as the latissimus
dorsi working with the contra-lateral gluteus)
