Single-leg training isn’t accessory work / it’s essential. 1. Improves neuromuscular control & coordination Single-leg exercises increase motor unit recruitment and demand greater communication between the brain and muscles. This improves balance, timing, and movement efficiency—key for both performance and injury reduction. 2. Addresses strength asymmetries Research consistently shows bilateral lifts can mask left-right imbalances. Unilateral training exposes and corrects these asymmetries, which is critical for long term joint health and performance consistency. 3. Enhances pelvic and hip stability Standing on one leg increases demand on the glute medius, deep hip stabilizers, and lateral core. This improves frontal-plane stability, which is strongly linked to reduced knee, hip, and low-back injury risk. 4. Transfers directly to real-world movement Walking, running, sprinting, cutting, climbing stairs, and changing direction all occur primarily on one leg at a time. Unilateral tr...
