Mobility makes a huge difference Canberra Sprint Coach, July 19, 2022February 8, 2024 When athlete’s hips are stiff and inflexible, muscle imbalance may occur and increase the risk of injury. Muscle imbalance in the hip often causes knee and hip pain, due to the hip flexors and quadriceps overworking in order to compensate for weaker muscles. FAST proactively works with its members to improve their range of motion. An athlete’s enhanced range of motion can improve motor performance, skill execution, and even prevent injury. For example. excellent hip extension improves the ability to assist the hip in developing power, The fastest athletes have mobile hips. Sprinters do not need to be like a gymnast. But they do need to have enough hip mobility to move through the range of motion needed to execute proper sprint form. If your hip flexors are tight, it will be difficult for you to fully extend your hips on the stride, which will ultimately limit your stride power. Group mobility sessions in FAST have shown that after proximately 6 weeks, the range of moment of the hip will improve significantly.
