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
- Starting Position: Athletic stance at starting line, body leaning slightly forward
- Initial Acceleration: Drive hard with first few steps, pump arms vigorously
- Sprint Phase: Maintain good running form to first marker
- Deceleration: Begin slowing 2-3 steps before marker
- Turn Technique: Plant outside foot, drop hips, and pivot quickly
- Re-acceleration: Drive off planted foot and accelerate back to start
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not decelerating properly before turns
- Taking too wide of turns instead of sharp pivots
- Poor arm action during acceleration phases
- Running upright instead of maintaining forward lean
- Losing balance during direction changes
