Roar Chapter 6 - Core Strength, Stability and Mobility

Roar Chapter 6 - Core Strength, Stability and Mobility

Your knees are not invincible. In fact, women are 3x to 8x more likely than men to tear an ACL according to Dr. Stacy Sims, author of Roar.

So, how do you prevent ACL injuries while skiing the 40+ inches of powder that just hit the Wasatch? Take your ski vacation in Colorado. It's scientifically proven to be safer there.

(just kidding)

The key is to train core strength, stability, and mobility, and no, that doesn't mean do crunches, balance on one foot, and stretch.

Tune into the 100 Year Athlete podcast as we break down Chapter 6 of Roar and talk about how to prevent knee injuries.

Quotes:

"Good strength training really, really, really is injury prevention." -Ben

"Regardless of whether your movement patterns are good, if you're experiencing forces that you can't handle, then sometimes there are bad consequences for that." -Alex

"If you're not able to develop force quickly and stabilize joints, that's when things happen that are unintended." -Alex

"Train your joint through its entire range of motion so that you can be strong regardless of what position you're in." -Ben

"Mobility is way more important to train than flexibility. A lot of women are very flexible in nature. And we like to do what we're good at." -Ben

"Injury causes inconsistency in training. For most injuries, that's probably the worst part of it." -Ben
