Have you injured your knee or ankle? Here are 3 exercises that help create injury resilience. Most athletes will experience some type of injury in their career. Parisi Speed School athletes are exposed to a wide range of injury resilience exercises. While a knee and ankle injury are different, these three exercises are great for strengthening both and improving overall stability.
We all know that once injured in one area, surrounding joints, muscle and connective tissue will compensate. I like these 3 exercises because they address the need for reactive strength in the ankle and knee. These are excellent as return to play exercises for athletes that have been released from physical therapy. These are also amazing auxiliary exercises that can be combined with a squat or deadlift day.
These exercises will benefit the strength of the legs. These 3 simple movements also translate in speed and jump mechanics. The Parisi Speed School focuses on teaching mechanics. Each of these 3 movements are commonly seen in Parisi Speed classes to reinforce proper speed mechanics.
