Catapult Start with Resistance Band

- With the resistance band (running against resistance), acceleration speed is trained. Working into the band builds high muscle tension (high muscle tone). This creates energy that is briefly stored and released impulsively the moment the resistance is removed. - For the start, begin in a staggered stance on the balls of the feet. At the beginning, the upper body leans far forward, the centre of gravity is at hip height, eyes look down. After a powerful push-off through the balls of the feet, the upper body is gradually raised, the eyes lift and the stride frequency increases. The arms move alternately to the leg movement (when the right leg goes forward, the left arm goes forward and vice versa). After the first 3-4 steps on the balls of the feet, the foot rolls through the whole foot (heel to sole to ball of foot), the upper body is upright and steady, stride frequency increases to maximum. - 2 cones
