Motor abilities are trained through targeting the central nervous system, to do this, SAQ training uses a tried and tested set of training phases carried out in a specific order which is called the "SAQ continuum.” Muscle movement is programmed by positive repetitive stimuli or performing very specific correct movement patterns repeatedly. This includes direction control, acceleration and deceleration, balance explosive power and quicker response.

To achieve this an individual is taken through a 7 phase training process (The SAQ continuum) which includes Dynamic flex warm up, Mechanics phase, innervation phase, accumulation of potential phase, explosion phase, expression of potential phase and the dynamic flex warm down.

Among other things, highly efficient Linear and lateral movement patterns are developed along with multi directional movement.
