Top 4 Ways to Build Stability in the Developing Athlete – Part 2

In part 1 we focused on how single leg exercises can really help improve unilateral strength, right and left discrepancies, and weight transfer awareness! Today we’ll break down landing mechanics more in depth and how they can really take your stability and performance to the next level!

Athletic Stability Builder 2 – Landing Mechanics

Absorb Force More Effectively

Your ability to absorb force will greatly enhance not only your stability but also your overall athletic ability! If you can load into your landing more effectively you can then explode out more powerfully!

Protect Your Joints

The better you can absorb into your landings the better you can protect your joints from high impacts! The less excessive force and impacts your joints have to withstand will help keep them healthy and create better longevity as an athlete!

Reduce Ground Contact Time

Absorbing into your landings more effectively will lead to less ground contact time making you faster and more explosive! This is because when you land and don’t absorb your force quickly and effectively there is a 1-2 second delay in your ability to then be able to explode back out properly.

 

Stability Builder Top Exercise – Landing Mechanics Matrix

This exercise is typically best broken up into multiple parts to begin. Master the double leg landings and single leg landings individually first then you can combine them into the landing mechanics matrix!
