@drmalekpt: If you deal with ankle setbacks… It’s time you ACTUALLY prepared for your pick up bball, pickleball, vball, runs, etc. Training your ankle for sports means MORE than just basic strength! A weak ankle may mean poorer running economy and sports performance, not to mention aches and pains form limited ability to sustain all the things we do! Read on! "Ankle stiffness" in the context of rehab/performance refers to the ratio of plantarflexion vs dorsiflexion displacement in response to movement & locomotion. Basically how well your ankle/foot sustains load. Ankle stiffness is heavily influenced by calf strength and toe strength - and a resilient Achilles tendon. Along with the ankle stabilizers, this massive group of the lower leg works to propel us forward and absorb impact. Building the tendon up is thought to allow for better energy transfer aka more effective movement. #weakankles #anklestabilitytraining #anklestabilty #runningworkouts #runningworkout🧡 #jumptrainingprogram
