Field Hockey Mobility Requirements Field hockey requires constant running while bent over controlling a stick. This unique position demands hip and hamstring flexibility to prevent back strain. Quick direction changes require ankle and hip mobility. Shooting needs thoracic rotation. The bent-over playing position creates specific mobility challenges other sports lack. Hip and Hamstring Mobility The bent-over position requires flexible hips and hamstrings to prevent lower back compensation: JME 108: JME 134: JME 113: Better hip mobility allows a lower playing position with less back strain. Ankle Mobility for Quick Movement Direction changes and the athletic stance require mobile ankles: JME 175: JME 178: Ankle mobility enables quicker reactions and more stable positioning. Thoracic Rotation for Shooting Powerful shots require torso rotation while maintaining the bent-over position: JME 151: JME 153: Start your 14-day free trial for field hockey-specific mobility programming.
