Over the course of this semester I have added sled dragging into my training. When I first started doing it I really didn't know much about it, but I knew my quads, calves, hamstrings, glutes...all of the above would be on fire while I was doing it and I loved it. I have since read several articles on the benefits of sled dragging and here are a few key points that I have found.
-Improves GPP (General Physical Preparedness) and Work Capacity
-Can be a form a Dynamic Training which can enhance explosiveness
-Great Posterior Chain work
-Great exercise for Active Recovery
-Can be used to train pretty much every part of the body with different variations
Sled dragging is a great training tool for athletes and is easy to implement into a team setting. It is a very economical training technique as well. I think sled dragging can be great for anyone. As already stated, it's great for improving athlete's work capacity and GPP which will enhance their athletic performance and improve their abilities in the weight room as well. It's also great for anyone just wanting to get into better shape. Sled dragging is very low-impact and is a combination of strength training and cardio training.
