Rotation in sports refers to many common movements occurring in the athletic environment such as throwing, striking, swinging, and even changing direction.
It is an important aspect of most sports and is critical for effective sequencing and power production.
These athletic movements are the basis for sports-specific training. They are why rotational movements are so popular in sport-specific training.
The problem is that rotation is often trained without any true progression, and maybe even without any real structure.
Because rotation in sports is linked to throwing, striking, swinging and such movements, exercises like medball throws, kettlebell swings and the likes are common exercises we see utilized to train rotation.
So right from the get-go, we are training rotational movements in their most complex form combining load and acceleration (aka power).
But since when do we work on power before function and strength?
This is especially true if you are following up after working on mobility or within a rehabilitation process.
Building rotation exercise progressions is safer, builds better outcomes and will likely make all those cool rotation exercises you see on Instagram much more useful in the end.
Let me tell you exactly how to build appropriate progressions to replicate the strength demands as well as the kinematic sequences that are imposed by the athletic environment.
