TEST DAY TUUEESSDAAYYY ๐ฃ๏ธ๐งช๐
Today is the ABALAKOV JUMP which is a little different than weโve been showing yall! ๐๏ธ๐๐๏ธ Instead of a Physical Exam weโre coming at you with a Strength Test we perform on our ForceDecks!๐๏ธ
The Abalakov Jump is a CMJ (Countermovement Jump) that involves the arms! ๐ฆต๐ช You start standing tall with your arms raised straight up, and go into a quick downward movement (Countermovement) while swinging the arms back, before leaping up as high as you can & swinging the arms up with you! ๐๐๐
The Abalakov and other CMJโs are very fundamental movements in Sports, Training, and Return to Activity, that offers wide perspectives into a persons Strength, Neuromuscular Efficiency, and overall Functional Capacity ๐ง ๐
Not only do we use this as a measure of performance, but also as a tool to help with potential diagnostics!๐คVALD systems allow us to be able to read tons of metrics like Power, Force Asymmetry, & Movement Strategy ๐คพโโ๏ธโน๏ธโโ๏ธ Tools like the ForceDecks give us numerical data that highlights Nuanced Force, Time, and Displacement Characteristics, giving us insight into hundreds of trackable metrics that lets us personalize your programming even further! ๐๐๐๐จโ๐ป
