Balance and Training

Hi Everyone,

Balance training is an essential part of training for any athlete, it activates the neural pathways within the body, stimulating the muscles, which can lead to enhanced strength and stability of the surrounding joints and improved proprioception (awareness of the body in space). These improvements equate to more efficient movement throughout sporting performance, improve rehabilitation and limit the chances of injury.

The videos below details various balance exercises utilising an Indo Board. These exercises are suitable for a variety of athletes, sports may include: any boarding sport (surfing, skateboarding, wakeboarding), golf, netball, cricket and tennis - all due in part to the loads placed upon the ankles and the increased requirement for stability. If you have limited access to equipment, be creative and use what's available (e.g. bosu ball (right side up or upside down), a medicine ball, swiss balls or even a towel or mat folded may suffice). try to utilise both unilateral and bilateral movements in your balance training, if it's too easy try closing your eyes...

If you have any questions let us know,

Thanks,

Mitch
