Speed / Agility ladder training promotes rapid leg movement and foot plants while integrating dynamic postural stabilization. More than one ladder can be used to develop the controlled deceleration and acceleration needed for quick changes in direction. In various fields of sports competition, the body is constantly asked to perform movements from unfamiliar joint angles. The main objective for agility ladder programs is to promote a wide range of different foot and movement patterns. These skilled movements become second nature and the body is able to respond quickly to various angles that are required in sporting events.
