If you want to move optimally, stay injury-free, and perform at a higher level, your training needs to address the systems that actually keep your body resilient. Strength training increases muscle cross-sectional area, improves tendon stiffness, and reinforces joint stability one of the most evidence-based methods for reducing injury risk. Incorporating plyometrics trains the stretch-shortening cycle, enhancing neuromuscular efficiency and improving how your tendons store and release elastic energy. Training in multiple planes of motion (sagittal, frontal, transverse) improves motor control, reduces compensations, and keeps you from becoming stiff and pattern-locked. A strong core isn’t about isolated movements—it’s about developing 360° dynamic stability through anti-rotation, anti-flexion, and anti-extension patterns that transfer to real movement. And if you want to fix imbalances, unilateral training is non-negotiable. Working one side at a time improves intermuscular coordinatio...
