  • Increased power

  • Injury prevention, rehab/pre-hab and increased durability

Improve durability and prevent injuries

Many overuse injuries occur in the posterior chain. The posterior chain is an anatomic term defining the structures occurring in the posterior half of the body.  This includes the plantar foot structures, calves, hamstrings, glutes, lower and upper back. These muscles are integral in stabilizing the skeleton during movement. When these muscles are under-developed, injury easily occurs as they are not strong or mobile enough to counterbalance the propulsive, anterior chain muscles. By increasing their strength and mobility, balance is achieved across the joints and levers that create movement. This balance is necessary to avoid overuse injuries and allow absorption of training.



Create strength that improves propulsion and speed

Anterior chain muscles used in endurance sports are the pectoralis, anterior cuff/deltoid, iliopsoas, and quadriceps. These structures are over-developed because the propulsive activities performed in swimming, biking and running result from repeatedly stressing these muscle groups. Varying degrees of imbalance commonly occur in many endurance athletes and manifest in many ways. The most pronounced scenario is revealed in the latter part of events. Commonly, the propulsive muscles are stronger than the stabilizing muscles. Without adequate stabilization, the propulsive forces produced in the anterior chain are now required to compensate for the lack of stability. This results in a diminishment of propulsion or, simply put, a slowing down.

By increasing mobility, power and strength, the propulsive forces are allowed to focus only on propulsion, allowing maintenance of speed.

Ultimately, the ability to create greater sports specific strength and power is limited by the individual’s ability to apply force.
