Do you train unilateral movements ? You should ! Unilateral strength training involves performing exercises using a single limb, like an arm or leg, instead of two. Unilateral exercises can help improve balance, muscle balance, and injury prevention or rehabilitation. For example, a single-leg squat/“Bulgarian split squat”uses one leg, while a bilateral squat uses both “Back Squat” . Benefits Can improve strength balance, muscle balance between left and right sides, and help prevent or rehabilit

Bilateral vs. Unilateral Training Some benefits to bilateral training include… 🏋️‍♂️ Greater force production because of increased loading 🏋️‍♂️ More stability and body control because of a balanced center of mass 🏋️‍♂️ Easier to learn for younger/newer athletes Some benefits to unilateral training include… 💪 More “sport-specific” to movements like running, jumping, throwing, changing direction, etc. 💪 Opportunity to work on coordination and strength imbalances 💪 Increased work capacity du

It avoids overusing, overtraining, or compensating with the dominant side, which aids in identifying and correcting muscular imbalances that can help in injury prevention and recovery. | Torokhtiy Oleksiy
