Are you exercising your legs correctly?
Let us be honest, most of us are not reviewing our exercise programs to see if they are affecting our performance in life or athletics. Does the leg press or leg extension machine really make my quadriceps fire at the proper rate to help reduce joint reaction force??
As a physical therapist we are committed to keeping current on the latest research regarding lower body exercise. Thankfully for you reading this post I am going to attempt to highlight the latest evidence will the following bullet points:
-
- Strength alone is NOT the key factor in maintaining lower body alignment
-
