Improper understanding of Instruct the athlete that as the shins and hips come up
movement patterns to vertical, so should the torso and head. Encourage
the athlete to feel for the rise in the hips so that the
joints (shoulders to hips to ankles) stay stacked or in
line. This position allows for the proper transmission of
forces into the running surface.
Insufficient mobility,
improper positioning of A high likelihood of hamstring injury occurs during the
pelvis swing phase of the sprint event as a result of eccentric
(lengthening) forces. An athlete is further
compromised when displaying anterior pelvic tilt
during the sprint event. Before training or competition,
mobility and soft tissue therapy may be warranted in
order to stabilize the pelvis in a neutral position.
