No, you do not have to know how to do the splits before you can straddle. People are different where some can do straddles before splits. It all depends on the body type and hips. For both splits and straddles though, it does help to have more flexible hamstrings. By working your hamstring flexibility, both your splits and straddles will improve.
The only way to be able to do the splits in a weeksÕ time is stretch and practice daily. It is important to stretch and practice every day to be able to do the splits left and right.
Lots of stradle streches! Do lots of those squats where you squat down so that both your legs are bent at 90 degree angles and press them down. Do lots of center splits, too. Work on your core and leg strength! to do a toetouch correctly, you have to be able to use your abs to make yourself sit into the jump. you need your leg strength to pull them up. Don't forget to point your toes!
no you can be eg. a dancer and be able to do splits or even be a normal person !!
You have to be able to do herkies, hurtles, toe touches, tumbles, splits, and leg ups :)
First you need to stretch every day, and you need to get farther and farther every day. In about a week you should be about 3in farther in your splits.
Being incredible flexible is not needed in Netball but it helps to be a little flexible to avoid injury, such as pulling a muscle. You don't need to be able to do the splits or anything really flexible ;)
I got my right splits by resting my heel on a chair or something elevated and doing my splits on that (like over splits)... but if you want to get them quicker... I also lay down on my back and pulled my right leg towards my body. Or you can do it the old fashioned way and just hold your splits there for a few minutes ;)
We really need to know what "this" is before we'll be able to answer.
No! All you need is practice. It has to be built up to over a period of time to avoid injury,
For most squads, you need to do the splits. You need to be strong, cheerful, energetic, patient, and definitely NOT shy.
probably not my question is WHY DO U NEED 2 KNOW THAT
no!! just need to stetch alot!!
