Conditioning & Team Sports– Core stability is a key component in training in all sports and is the buzz word in fitness and conditioning. The functional result of good core stability is that when an athlete is performing sporting movement or technique, they are able to maintain the correct posture and alignment. It provides central body control, and allows you to generate power by maximizing the efficiency of your muscular effort. Scientific research has shown that core stability is the foundation for explosive movements and control (agility, balance and co-ordination), qualities particularly vital in contact sports. It is the ability of the trunk to support the effort and forces from the arms and legs, so that muscles and joints can perform in their safest, strongest and most effective positions. MACPAD is an exceptional core stability development tool as it works all the key muscle groups.

In sports such as Football, Rugby, American Football, Basketball and Hockey, development of core stability enhances solidity in contact, making the player better able to withstand tackles, and be more solid in their ability to offload the ball in contact. MACPAD brings explosive variety into core stability / conditioning routines, with measurable results for both holder and striker, making it an ideal tool in team training environments. Developing boxing skills through work on MACPAD has been shown to have valuable psychological benefits.
