Linear A-Skips with Contralateral Arm Drive

Execute rhythmic A-skips bounding on the toes, aggressively driving the lead knee to hip height in sync with the opposite arm to train sprint posture and neuromuscular coordination.

Key points

  • Drive the lead knee upward to 90 degrees level with the hip with toes dorsiflexed
  • Coordinate contralateral arm drive (opposite arm to opposite knee) with 90-degree elbow bends
  • Maintain a tall, upright posture and spring off the ball of the stance foot with rhythm

Common mistakes

Slumping the chest forward or allowing the driving foot to dangle with pointed toes.
