The Cable (or Band) Supine Hip Flexion drill is one of the exercises that I use most frequently when working to restore hip flexion ability with clients dealing with things like FAI/Labral Irritation as will as hip mobility related back pain.
I find that many athletes, although they might run and skate often have significant weakness in their psoa/illiacus muscles and can benefit greatly from some isolated hip flexor strengthening work.
Lie flat on the ground with one leg bent and your foot flat on the ground to help create some stability in the trunk. Cue the athlete to exhale and drive their ribs downward as they fled the knee up, engaging their abs, this will help them to maximize the flexion at the hip with less compensatory action at their spine and pelvis. Cue them to flex the knee as high as possible and hold at the top for a couple of seconds before returning to the starting position.
