Training with TurfCordz® Bungie Resistance Cords can provide several benefits for football players, including agility, speed, and strength training.
Here’s a breakdown of how bungee resistance cords can be advantageous for each of these areas:
Agility Training:
Bungee resistance cords can enhance agility by creating resistance that players must overcome while performing quick directional changes and lateral movements. The cords provide resistance against the player’s movement, forcing them to exert more effort and engage their muscles to generate force. This resistance helps improve footwork, balance, coordination, and overall agility on the field.
Speed Training:
Improve acceleration, top-end speed, and stride length. By attaching the cords to the player’s waist, they experience resistance while running or sprinting. This resistance stimulates the muscles involved in speed and helps develop power, explosiveness, and stride efficiency. As players train with the cords, they build strength and power, leading to improved speed and quicker on-field movements.
Strength Training:
Bungee resistance cords can be utilized for strength training exercises to target specific muscle groups used in football. By performing exercises like resisted lunges, squats, lateral shuffles, or resisted push-offs, players can increase the intensity and resistance of their workouts. This helps develop muscular strength and power, which are essential for football players to perform tasks like explosive starts, powerful tackles, or maintaining balance in contact situations.
Bungee resistance cords are versatile tools that can be incorporated into a wide range of football-specific drills.
For example, they can be used for resistance running drills, where players work against the resistance to simulate game-like situations, such as breaking through tackles or pulling away from defenders. Bungee cords can also be attached to tackling dummies or other players, adding resistance to blocking and tackling drills, making them more challenging and realistic.
Our Super Bungie Kit features patented braided nylon over rubber that provides a heavier load and lasting durability that delivers up to 200 pounds of resistance. The SBK includes a Super Bungie Belt that fits up to a 52in waist, Super Bungie Handle and a total of three 8ft Super Bungie Cordz in 75lb, 150lbs and 200lbs of pull resistance levels.
It’s important to note that while bungee resistance cords offer benefits, they should be used under proper guidance and supervision to ensure safety and prevent injury.
Additionally, individual training programs should be tailored to the specific needs and fitness levels of each player. Consulting with a qualified strength and conditioning coach or sports trainer can help design a training regimen that effectively utilizes bungee resistance cords to improve football performance.
