Develop explosive speed, agility, and conditioning with this multi-directional sprint exercise that builds athletic performance and cardiovascular fitness.

Perfect Shuttle Run Technique

The shuttle run combines linear speed with agility and change-of-direction skills. ChAIron's AI coaching optimizes your acceleration, deceleration, and turning mechanics for maximum performance.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

  1. Starting Position:Athletic stance at starting line, body leaning slightly forward
  2. Initial Acceleration:Drive hard with first few steps, pump arms vigorously
  3. Sprint Phase:Maintain good running form to first marker
  4. Deceleration:Begin slowing 2-3 steps before marker
  5. Turn Technique:Plant outside foot, drop hips, and pivot quickly
  6. Re-acceleration:Drive off planted foot and accelerate back to start

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Not decelerating properly before turns
