From the PALO Fitness website. Two PALO Poses that are great for targeting the PSOAS muscles.

PALO 12 o'clock Psoas Pose is a great way to elongate the Psoas muscles. This Pose also elongates the arm, shoulder, chest, rib cage and back muscles.

This is a great PALO Pose for all jumpers.

The second PALO Pose is a multi-muscles stretch and and strengthening exercise.

A great way to train on the track/road and the treadmill is to mimic sprint actions iwith NLAAF's simulated sprinting while walking drill. This drill will help the athlete learn proper hip rotation and leg extension, as well as foot strike and posture for maximum velocity sprinting. This is a great neuro-muscular stimulation drill.

 

Long jumping

Elongation, the one action that will improve your long jumping tremendously.

Elongate down the runway, to the board, off the board and through your landing.

Psoas muscles work to bring your legs up, if you are elongated while in the air.

Hitch kick or hang style.
