Segments to Improve

• Sandbag Lunges (00:02:37 slower than 25th percentile):
  • Analysis: This was the weakest segment, indicating a need for improved strength endurance and lunge technique.
  • Training Strategy: Incorporate exercises like weighted walking lunges, Bulgarian split squats, and step-ups to build leg strength and endurance.
  • Drills: Focus on form with lunges, ensuring the back knee nearly touches the ground and the front knee remains above the ankle.
• Burpees Broad Jump (00:02:27 slower than 25th percentile):
  • Analysis: Indicates a need for improved explosive power and cardiovascular endurance.
  • Training Strategy: Implement plyometric training, such as box jumps and burpee variations, to enhance explosiveness.
  • Drills: Practice burpee technique with a focus on consistent pace and efficient transitions between movements.
• Wall Balls (00:01:45 slower than 25th percentile):
  • Analysis: This segment suggests a need for better upper body strength and coordination.
  • Training Strategy: Include medicine ball throws and overhead squats in workouts to improve strength and coordination.
  • Drills: Work on maintaining a consistent rhythm with wall balls, focusing on breathing and body alignment.
