Balance Exercises Enhance Agility For Olympic Athletes

By Suzanne Stoke, Physical Therapist @ Exercise For Balance via www.exerciseforbalance.com

    Whether you are a weekend warrior athlete, an Olympic competitor or an older adult who wants to get around safely and without falling, balance exercises are a key component of daily exercise. Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now One essential component of staying upright for senior citizens or gaining the winning edge for Olympic athletes is to have exceptional agility with all movements. As an example, Grete Eliassen needs quick feet and excellent stability to perform her Olympic sport of slopestyle skiing. Additionally, speed skater Brian Hansen requires outstanding steadiness and agility to fly around the speed skating track on razor thin blades.  Balance exercises can promote higher level of performance not only for these Olympic athletes but also for activities of all ages.  Furthermore, equilibrium exercises and balance training also contributes to improved steadiness and a reduced frequency of falling for older adults.  One aspect of movement whether it involves sports or simply moving around the house is agility. Stability exercises can enhance agility in soccer, basketball, football, skiing, skating or any sport. On the other end of that spectrum, steadiness exercises and balance training can help seniors improve agility to walk between the couch and the coffee table, to step over a dog, to navigate going up and down stairs, to turn in a small bathroom or any such home directed activity.

Balance Exercises For Better Agility

   Healthcare workers have determined that practicing  simple balance exercises can advance balance abilities including agility, coordination and dexterity. One segment of balance exercises is dynamic balance routines. By learning to control your center of balance during various movements, you can improve your dynamic equilibrium and agility. Once you develop the skills to control weight shifting during challenging  movement sequences, you can build agility and coordination to tackle  whatever functional or sports related activities you face. You can also progress your dynamic stability routines by adding equipment like the BOSU or a balance board. Center of gravity control is one of the foundational balance techniques taught in the Exercise For Balance DVD. The DVD was developed by an experienced Physical Therapist for you to use in the convenience of your own home.
