This Deceleration program includes 4 daily routines as well as a list and description of Ballistic, Plyometric, and other sport specific acceleration routines all custom made by Kinetic Excellence Inc. This program is a perfect compliment to the Acceleration Power program as both abilities will increase an athlete’s peak performance in similar and very separate ways.

This program is essential for any athlete that depends of quick change of direction.

Deceleration power is important in sports such as soccer, basketball, football, as well as ice and field hockey and lacrosse. This type of power refers to the ability to sprint fast and constantly change direction as fast as possible. These athletes are exploders, accelerators and decelerators. This ability will compliment the acceleration program by allowing athletes to transition between full speed to change of direction and maximum acceleration as quickly as possible. Deceleration requires a lot of leg and shoulder power. The same muscles as are used in Acceleration and utilized in Deceleration as well only in an eccentric contraction. Moving quickly from one direction to another is dependant on Deceleration Power.

Remember the saying “train smarter not harder” well at Kinetic Excellence we advocate “training harder by training smarter”, never compromise the intensity.

Good luck on the field and in the gym.
