Balance - Strength

Involve dynamic eccentric and concentric movement of the balance leg, through a full range of motion.
---- require dynamic control in mid range of motion
---- with isometric stabilization at end range of motion
Requires greater specificity, speed and neural demand.

***** Note: balance training is OPTIONAL in Hypotrophy or Maximum Muscle Strength phases

Exercise Examples:

• Single leg squat
• Single leg squat touchdown (if cannot touch toes, have them work on reaching knee, shin,,,then toes)
• Single leg Romanian deadlift (if cannot touch toes, reach knee, shin then toes)
• Multiplanar step up to balance (start in saggital plane, progress to step up in frontal plane)
• Multiplanar lunge to balance - progress to frontal and transverse planes
