THE APPLICATION OF CONTRAST TRAINING TO BASKETBALL FEATURE ARTICLE 4. Front Plank (Figure 7) Lying on the stomach, place the toes on the ground and the elbows directly underneath the shoulders. Raise the hips slightly above the shoulders and hold for the desired amount of time. LATERAL STRENGTH AND POWER: 1. Lateral Lunge (Figures 8 and 9) Holding a dumbbell in front of the body, step out laterally as far as hip mobility will allow. Flex at the hip and knee while sitting back and maintaining an upright posture with the torso. Lower until the thigh is parallel to the ground, then explode back to the upright position and repeat with the other leg. 2. Speed Skater Standing in a slight squat position, hop laterally as far as possible. Absorb the landing forces and immediately explode back to the start position. Repeat this continually for the desired repetitions; the goal is maximum lateral distance. 3. Single-Leg RDL (Figures 10 and 11) Standing on one leg with a slight bend at the knee, maintain an upright torso while flexing at the hip only. Lower until you feel a stretch in your hamstring without allowing any lumbar flexion.
