Cone drills are agility exercises used in various sports to improve speed, coordination, and quick directional changes. Typically, a series of cones are set up in specific patterns, and athletes run through them, focusing on maintaining control and balance while changing directions. These drills help enhance footwork and overall athletic performance. Athletes often incorporate cone drills into their training routines to simulate game-like situations. Common patterns include the T-drill, Z-drill, and box drill, each designed to target different aspects of agility. Regular practice of cone drills can lead to improved reaction times and better movement efficiency on the field or court.
