Train Your Hips to Run Faster & Jump Further

In this video coach John Shepherd (www.johnshepher...) explains why the hips (flexors and extensors) are crucial for sprinting and jumping. In fact they could hold the key making you quicker - that's if you train them optimally. The video describes exercises and the rationale for doing hip training drills, plyos and med ball work, for example and also includes some research to back up some of the comment.

Thanks for this. I’m trying to improve my jumps, but I think my hips can’t be that great. I’m going to add these into my daily routines and hopefully improve my performance

[@fztbasardi5179]

such a great video. I have a patient. she is a taekwando player. we have a big problem with hip flexor muscles.I try and I hope she will be a champion.

[@EnsabbahNor]

Great video! Random question, is there a series of foot and ankle prep exercises that your athletes perform?

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

We do specific exercises in our sessions most of the time for this - sometimes we do drills and some runs barefoot (well, in socks) and sometimes we do types of agility work (lateral and backwards movements) and we'll also do specific work for the Achilles tendons - it would take me a while to write all this down, so I may make a video on this in future. Thanks for the question and look out for the video.

John Shepherd track & field coach - author & editor Awesome! I greatly appreciate you taking the time to make that video! I’m excited to see what you have to say, thanks again!

I love all your videos! I have a question about the medicine ball drill used for hip extension. With the ball placed on the front of the knee, having the athlete push the ball away is it eccentrically targeting the hip extensors? Is that the goal of the exercise or? Thank you!!!

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

A Savangsengouthay many thanks - it's actually more of a concentric exercise as the hip muscles shorten to propel the ball away. However, that's not that important really as the exercise is aimed at improving hip drive for sprints and jumps. Teaching the movement I.e. a powerful thigh away drive Hope that helps, thanks again and stay safe.

@@Johnshepherdtrackcoach Thanks for taking the time to answer and explain that to me! Great educational and organized content!

[@Corey10Andrews]

Hey coach Ive been listening to Dan Pfaff and he’s telling his athletes to heel strike first in his drills? Any reason why hes saying that? Even in say an A skip

[@rasmuskarlsson3841]

How often can you perform these exercises without getting to much fatigue? Thanks

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

It depends on your level of fitness and how hard each of your sessions are. So, it’s difficult for me to answer specifically - what I can say is that before kick down we would do drills every session (5 times a week). These would be varied across the sessions. Skipping, take-off, bar drills and so on. A couple of units of each. The volume would vary between sessions, but as a estimate we’d be doing about 10-20 20m worth of drills each session before we’d do jumping or sprint work for example. I hope this helps - I’d also suggest having easier and more intense sessions and scheduling rest days

[@AlexVinchenzo]

does side walking with straight legs through hurdles can be useful? (sorry for my english)

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

Not sure exactly what you mean from your description. Generally speaking hurdle drills are designed to improve hip strength (and core) and hip flexibility. They will also improve balance and coordination. They can be seen as a foundation movement upon which more specific exercises can be built on. I don't use these types of hurdle movements that often as you can do similar with sprint drills which can be a little more specific. Note: if you are a hurdler then some of the walking hurdle drills can have a greater relevance to event performance. Hope this helps.
