Gray Cook, RKC and Brett Jones, Master RKC
This past week I had the privilege, to work with a Division 1 college volleyball player.
Here is what I did.
1. Functional Movement Screen (FMS) by Gray Cook
Finding's - Asymmetry on the Active Straight Leg (ASLR)
Asymmetry on the rotary stability test
2. Hop and Stop test
Hop test - over 89% height (good)
Leap test - over 109% of height (good)
3. Vertical jump = 21.5 inches a collegiate female should at least be 20 inches.(source functional training for sports by Mike Boyle)
What did I end up doing with this athlete?
I gave her corrective exercises for her asymmetry's, but I also taught her the Turkish Get-up which she liked, but after further questioning she said they are not doing any power movements i.e Olympic lifting, so I taught her the KB swing.
When you consider the KB swing it mimics a vertical jump, the start loads the hips and hamstrings followed by a quick powerful contraction of the hips and hamstrings. I am interested to see her results after a few weeks of corrective exercises, Turkish Get-ups and swings, this stuff just ain't that hard is it?
