Women Impact turns

[bailsandblinds]

Looking for more information on hard and protected landings on all events. How many hard impact turns do you take each practice? What matting and drills do you use Day-to-day to minimize impact? Have you seen reduction of injuries from limiting or charting impact turns?

Feel free to post any research or articles out there too!

i take injuries very seriously because ive been injured so many times. to minimize risk of injury, i always use more mats such as 4 inchers or 8 inchers during practice for landings until about a week or two before a meet then gradually use it less and less so my body will be prepared to not use the extra cushioning during a competiton
