Quadrobica (from English “quadrobics” or “quads”) is a young sport that is just gaining popularity. It combines various elements from crossfit, martial arts and gymnastics. Quadrobika originated in the United States in 2019 and has quickly spread around the world thanks to the Internet.
What is special about quadrops?
This is a very unusual and interesting sport in which you have to imitate the movements of animals: how they run, jump, hunt, swim and even sleep. Quadrobists perform various tricks, walk on four legs, etc.
Why is it called that?
The quad principle is based on training four major muscle groups in the human body.
How is this useful?
Quadrobika helps develop endurance, strength, coordination of movements, and also improves the cardiovascular system and overall physical fitness.
What do you need for classes?
Usually this sport does not require any special equipment, so anyone can do it.
However, quadrobists usually wear special costumes that mimic wool, as well as animal masks.
Where to study?
Quadrobists train both in the gym and outdoors. During classes, athletes run, jump over obstacles, swim, and can use horizontal bars and bars, but this is not necessary.
Usually, exercises are performed quite intensively and at a high pace.
Quad racing tournaments
Although quadrobika is a new sport, more and more clubs and organizations are opening up around the world where you can practice it. Quadrobists even participate in tournaments and competitions.
If you're new
If you've decided to start quad mining, here are some recommendations from experts:
1. Don't overexert yourself. Start small — five to ten minutes is enough to get started, then take a break.
2. Drink plenty of water.
3. Explore your body's capabilities and don't go beyond them.
4. Remember not to put your thumbs in your fists when you are imitating an animal's paws.
5. Wear gloves to protect your hands from bruising, especially when exercising on a fairly hard surface or jumping.
6. Use wrist braces because they are more stressed.
7. Avoid surfaces that are too hard or slippery — it is better to exercise on grass or carpet.
8. Do not do quarrying in the snow — this can be dangerous.
9. Try to keep your elbows slightly bent when you jump.
