Reverse Slide Board Lunge

Here is an exercise to try if you have access to a slide board. Slide boards are a great tool that can be used to add another dimension to your workouts. In this instance it allows it allows for a great variation on the lunge exercise.



Standard lunges will result in greater eccentric force production. However, a possible drwback of the exercise is that it involves a decelerative movement pattern. For track athletes who require straight forward acceleration, the reverse slide board lunge shown above would be more suitable.

Of course, team sport players requiring multi-directional speed would still do well to include the standard lunge in their programmes.

By holding the weight overhead, there is an increased demand placed upon the core.
