https://doi.org/10.52383/itfcoaching.v22i64.522Keywords:
Core stability, Functional strength, Pre-habilitation, Developing players, Injury preventionAbstract
This article outlines some lower core and leg stability training exercises that will allow players to augment training regimens and use in home based and travel training. Players can maintain and improve lower core and leg stability with these functional exercises that work the muscle slings in closed and partially closed kinetic chain movements. These exercises are versatile, practical and transportable and can be used by a variety of different age groups including developing, professional and senior players.
