Bungee training for sports performance

When athletes use Bungee cords attahced to the body, a resisted effect is gain with a "smooth" build up of resistance.

Cords can be attahced individually to arms, legs or the hip region to create a training effect that improves speed, strength and power.

The Power Runner in the above video illustrates an athlete using bungee cords that are attached at 2 points: upper body and lower body.

Be creative in your use of bungee cords for performance training, and if you are looking for bungee training products visit our site at www.ProPowerTraining.com.
