Speed Hurdles

Why would you need Speed Hurdles?

Speed hurdles are small terrain obstacles often used for sports training. They can help you improve control over your body, as well as reaction time, acceleration, speed and coordination. Practicing with speed hurdles regularly, greatly affects an athlete’s agility capabilities. Kids especially, benefit from practicing with speed hurdles, being more able to perform other types of training later on.

There are many exercises which you can perform using speed hurdles. You can use them the same way as you would use an agility ladder, whereas the level of difficulty rises dramatically. You can do agility runs, hop down the line with feet together, or try and use one leg at a time… The possibilities are truly endless, especially when you incorporate cones and poles into the mix as well.

We noticed that many people buy these items together, so the list is slightly extended to reflect on this fact and ease your way when looking for agility equipment.

Speed hurdles come in different size, so you can start with lower obstacles, and then switch the equipment as you progress further. Multi height speed hurdles, from an economic point of view, are the most affordable and pragmatic.

You can use speed hurdles for other types of cardio and bodyweight workouts as well. For example, lateral power jumps, forward squat jumps etc.

Cones and poles are also great for improving your ability to maneuver around opponents, and know where you are in space. Sets of these are often put for sale at a very affordable price.

If you are training for speed and power however, buying a speed training resistance parachute is also an option. These can provide enough resistance at first, so you don’t have to train with a partner, or buy more expensive gear.
