Agility & Speed

Agility & speed is a necessary element in athletes and people who actively participate and engage in exercises and physical activities and specific sports. However, underlying conditions and injuries, such as low back pain and sciatica, are common health issues that can ultimately affect an athlete.

Both mental and physical abilities are necessary for overcoming challenges associated with exercise, physical activity, and specific sports, especially after experiencing low back pain and sciatica. The key to improving is to reduce the loss of speed when redirecting the human body’s center of gravity.

Rapid change drills that switch direction forward, backward, vertically, and laterally will help improve agility and speed, even after experiencing low back pain and sciatica. Dr. Alex Jimenez describes various stretches, exercises, and physical activities used to enhance agility and speed in a collection of articles, focusing on the benefits of fitness and underlying conditions and injuries, such as low back pain and sciatica.
