Email	.     Static Hurdle Training Rhythm Drill Article By: Tonie Campbell, Olympian Also known as the "Target Drill". The drill is a constant motion drill in which the athlete aligns himself with the hurdle and chooses a spot on the hurdle cross bar. The athlete's focus is on the lead leg action and control of the motions involved in hurdling. The athlete repeatedly attacks the pre-planned spot on the crossbar. A rhythm is established much like a dance rhythm. A secondary focus is on the leg in contact with the ground. This leg must be constantly on toes and held in the same location throughout the drill. The drill should be done before practice and three sets of thirty on each leg. A maximum of three times per week. As in the same with the other static drills, both legs should worked using this drill. Next Page International Copyright © of Coaches Education.com. All Rights Reserved.
