In this video I demonstrate how to use the BOSU Elite Balance Trainer to improve lateral speed and quickness.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VnkHmJYy5UQ\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This exercise is an excellent way to increase lateral foot speed and quickness.  In addition, it allows you to introduce energy system training, improve proprioception and enhance dynamic lower limb stability.  It is also a great way to train body control and deceleration &#8211; two key things necessary for injury prevention in jumping and cutting athletes.  Athletes may tend to stand upright once they come back down to the ground, so coaching and cuing them to stay low and not allow their shoulders to move outside the outside leg may be necessary.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about this exercise in my upcoming column Functionally Fit at www.fit-pro.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lateral quickness is an important part of athletic development.
