This presentation will explore how our inherent structural archetype influences the way in which we are able to move through space and how this can impact the expression of speed and power. At the extreme ends, one may be designed more like a tank with an overall wider distribution of the axial skeleton, while another may be designed more like a rocket with an overall narrow distribution. Additionally, there are various configurations associated with these archetypes that can add another layer of consideration. Certain structural designs make one more adept at performing certain movements and loaded exercises and we will explore some of the training options in the weight room and on the field that may be more suitable for certain structures over others. In this way, we can aim to further individualize and optimize the training process.
