Quick takeaways

  • Stability training focuses on co-contractions and opposition in muscle groups to enhance force production and neuromuscular awareness.
  • Incorporating fast movements in stability training improves dynamic stability and foot pronation, beneficial for athletes with ankle sprains or imbalance.

Deep dives

Science of Stability Training

Stability training involves co-contractions around the joints and opposing muscle groups, unlike isolated movements like bicep curls that inhibit opposing muscle groups for forceful movements. More stability means limited force production due to reciprocal inhibition. For example, stable movements like leg extensions allow high force production, unlike unstable exercises that focus on co-contractions and cognitive perceptual elements.
