Introduction
A lower body coordination drill that teaches players to regulate stride length for smoother and more stable controlled locomotion.
Key Points
- Builds awareness of stride length consistency.
- Improves movement rhythm and control.
- Reduces instability caused by long or uneven steps.
- Supports stable upper body alignment during walking.
- Prepares players for advanced locomotion drills.
Details
Players walk forward and laterally in slow, controlled motions, focusing on keeping stride length predictable and even. The goal is to avoid overstriding, abrupt foot placement, or inconsistent spacing.
Throughout the exercise, the marker should remain steady, with no bouncing or shoulder sway triggered by foot impact.
By regulating stride length, players improve balance, reduce lower body fatigue, and maintain smoother mechanical sequencing during extended locomotion.
The drill builds foundational movement rhythm necessary for more advanced controlled movement exercises.
