Video Details

When engaging in activities that strain the ankles, proper technique is crucial to prevent injuries. Often, individuals overlook the importance of maintaining correct ankle position while landing or transitioning, which can lead to unnecessary stress on tendons. This guide will help you understand how to position your ankles effectively to minimize risk and enhance performance.

Start by focusing on the angle of your ankles while in the landing position, especially if you're using blocks, a wall, or a curb. Make sure the balls of your feet are engaged and your heels are lifted. Common mistakes include allowing the heels to drop, which can create a jarring impact upon landing that could potentially cause tendon injuries. To practice this, concentrate on keeping your heel elevated as you land, ensuring you maintain a stable posture. This will not only support your ankles but also improve your overall balance and control.

Ultimately, mastering the proper ankle position can significantly reduce your chances of injury and enhance your athletic performance. By keeping your heels elevated and engaging the balls of your feet, you create a stable foundation. Remember that small adjustments in your technique can lead to big improvements in your safety and effectiveness during physical activities.

  • Keep your heels elevated while landing to reduce impact stress on your ankles.
  • Engage the balls of your feet for better stability and control.
  • Practice proper ankle positioning to prevent injuries and enhance performance.
