1-Leg Hurdle Step-Over
The next test is the One-Leg Hurdle Step-Over test and is also unique to GO: Sports. This functional movement test assesses the athlete’s ability to stabilize the ankle, knee, hip, core and shoulder while standing on one leg. The one leg step over test allows us to see if the athlete has any instability problems with the hip, hip flexors, or extensor’s.
It also checks on the alignment of the athlete for balance. Does the athlete have the ability to stabilize the hip and shoulder while standing on one leg. Often times after this test we can see major discrepancies between right-handed and left-handed athletes. No other test is going to show this as blatantly as this one does. GO: Sports is the only training facility to use this test to assess athletes.
Balance, stability, coordination, and athleticism are critical because most sports are played with one leg dominant or in action, and one arm dominant or moving.
However, most other programs never assess or even train athletes with one arm or one leg. Other programs off-season training promotes only two arm and two leg movements, thus making the athlete more uncoordinated and less athletic before their season.
