Isn't he greatly reducing force production by having to balancing on an unstable surface? Most athletic movements require you to apply force at a much faster rate than this.
Thanks for your observation...your question rightly posed deals with the second part of power. To explain; What happens when you are running and you take off and jump? Or "on the run" and you kick the ball? Ect...
A slight pause! Yes that pause is your power generation from the core..... inner abs! Train core = power generation. And balance movements train the core; so balance = power. I should say, that the above movement is a basic form. Increase the distance and the speed = more intensity
its like if he can balance and generate force off of unstable surfaces then how much more force is he going to be able to generate off of a stable surface?
@fangmama63 every trainer should be aware of the research that proves unstable training allows for less force generation ,not more.You shouldnt be training anyone if you dont know that
Thanks for all your comments. What is the functionality of this excersice? Does it have a cross over effect into hockey or any other sport for that matter? ABSOLUTELY YES! Remember the best all around athletes train the muscles not the movements. The point is, train the muscles used for take off, landing, and balancing on the Bosu. Next move the Bosu farther apart, to your max. If you don't break an ankle while doing this training you won't break it in sports. Train hard = Play hard.
Pause at 11 seconds, does that look like a safe position for ankles and knees? If I was the coach of a college/semi-pro/pro team and I saw my athletes risking injuries like that I would be livid.
I would argue you better gain the ability to generate power in athletics from heavy weight training (squats, deads) and power work (oly lifting, box jumps, sprinting) - which all have training risks, but not excessive.
@check123450 Oh come on, really? Think about it mate, When a sports conditioning coach trains a football player say, he trains sports specific exercise at higher intensities. For example, an exercise involving medecine ball roundhouse slams or medecine ball wall throws. you could say the same for those exercise, when is an athlete going to be throwing a 7 kg ball as hard as they can against a wall? never. Its all about training the muscles + stabilizing muscles to become stronger and more active
@Jondog54 its not the same because because medball slams train the muscles effectively for max power,you cant train max strength or power on an unstable base and the balance isnt transferable.Training of stabilising muscles is the only benefit i would use it for but never jumping
@check123450 Its the same with this, The trainer puts the athlete in an extremely unstable position, so that during sport, ie hockey, its so much easier than the what he has Trained for on the BOSUs that he's got perfect balance and control in an unpredicatable situation.
@Jondog54 balance doesnt transfer from 1 skill to another effectively.meaning you might be able to do 1 legged squats on a swiss ball but no better balance in your sport.Any balance type drill must be drills from the sport done on the floor,not balls and bosus
Chris is actually landing with the right form. This is based on his squating form. Not all athletes can perfom a straight squat(with feet shoulder length and knees behind toes and hamstrings parallel to the ground); maybe injury, bidy form ie pronating knees etc; hence to still get the right form without compromising his back he lands on the bosu with his feet "open out" this ensures his knees are not compromised. Thanks for noting his landing though...
I'm with you, problem is hockey is played on a solid surface (ice), there is instability in terms of being hit by other players, but this has zero functional crossover. He would be better served spending time on working box jumps (both height and high rep @ 24inch), squatting heavy, olympic lifting. This bosu crap is a waste of time and risky from a training injury perspective (rolled ankles, knees caving in etc).
I would give this guy some props too. It may look easy but he also balanced on the exercise ball....where some have tried and sprained their ankle or injured other parts of their body!
ok that looks rediculously easy for a surfer to do. i give that guy props on the other video for being able to do 15 steps tho... check out the true balance masta!

Ehy is he landing with his feet pointing out like a duck. That's definetly net the best form.

What functional application does this training have? What sports involve balancing on a surface resembling a bosu ball?
grambo22 3 years ago 2
I suppose hockey is the most relevant.
But even that is a HUGE stretch.

I agree with you. Not even plymometric - plymometric should be fast movements (like bunny hops, skipping, hurdles fast box jumps).
