The away-leg push-off is the main source of force in the shuffle. The trailing leg pushes against the ground to move the body laterally. The shuffle begins by turning the foot on the travel side toward the intended direction. Efficient lateral shuffling depends on push-pull coordination between the legs. The lateral shuffle uses a low-body cue similar to moving through a low tunnel. The lateral shuffle begins immediately after returning to the start and resetting in an athletic stance. The athlete should maintain an athletic stance and hip-driven ground pressure while shuffling.
