21
Q

When creating lower body training protocols, it is important to train all of the following…

A
  1. Optimum leg alignment
  2. Balance and joint rom and muscular strength
  3. Agility, balance and coordination
22
Q

When observing alignment of the legs, ideal standing alignment is…

A

*hip, knee, ankle lined up (side view)

23
Q

Foot and ankle work such as heel raises and jumping work to…

A

Stabilize the ankle, strengthen the ankle, and improve balance.

24
Q

Without good ROM on both sides of a joint the muscles cannot work correctly. For example, if hip flexors are tight, hamstrings won’t have sufficient ROM and strength gains will be difficult. This is an example of…

A

Reciprocal inhibition
