The high knee drill is the most misunderstood and poorly taught warm-up exercise in the history of warm-up exercises. Everyone seems to be doing it. But 99.99% of people are wrong.
There! I said it!
The use of this exercise, whether programmed by football and soccer coaches around the world or by personal trainers and strength coaches, is lazily administered at best and harmful at worst. The exercise uses the calves, glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and hip flexors as major muscle groups. For non-elite sprinters, shoulders play an important role in arm swing. It is no exaggeration to say that high knees are a full-body exercise.
High knees are exercises that prepare your body for more efficient sprinting. After all, the exercise is a sprint with an incredibly short stride length. Problems arise when exercise is done half-heartedly. With each step, the body is forced into a “figure four” position (femurs parallel to or more parallel to the ground, shins reversed, toes pointing up, torso high, hands on cheeks and hips). Must reach well.
Coaches and trainers talk about knee lifts and gagging.If you want to cover more ground with each stride When Point A and point B are fixed positions, so you can move between points faster.
