A start and a finish line are marked with two cones. In between, a small slalom course is set up with cones or poles (see graphic). The players line up one behind the other at the starting line. There should be no more than 5-8 players per station.
The players sprint on a signal from the trainer through the slalom course and then linearly across the finish line. As soon as the player has passed the first slalom cone / slalom pole, the next player starts.
- Palms are open, do not make fists. - Loose, light appearance, no trampling or stamping but light-footedness. - Quick, short movements. - Short ground contact time. - When sprinting, start in step position on the footpads. At the beginning the upper body is bent far forward, the center of gravity is at hip level, the view goes down. After pressing firmly on the footpads, the upper body is gradually straightened up, the gaze lifts and the step frequency increases. The arms are actively moved alternately with the leg movement (the right leg goes forward, the left arm goes forward and vice versa). After the first 3-4 steps on the footpad, roll over the entire foot (heel-> sole-> footpad), the upper body is upright and calm, the step frequency increases to the maximum. - 8 cones
