Ankle sprains are common injuries in athletes and general fitness goers and represent a significant amount of time lost in sports participation. Just a little over a year ago one of my cousins learnt this the hard way, by not incorporating any lower body strength training into his plan, he ruptured his Achilles during competitive football.
In the USA, 25,000 ankle sprains occur everyday whether from playing sports, vigorous activity or by simply walking on an uneven pavement, and once an ankle sprain occurs you are predisposed to future ankle sprains.
Something I always find myself telling people, is that your body is like a chain, and every link must be strong and well-running, or you are going to have problems with the “chains’” effectiveness. The same applies with relation to your muscles, joints, bones, digestive system, endocrine system, etc.
If your ankles are weak, and you lack balance and strength then those issues are likely to shoot up to your knees, hips, and possibly back.
Weak and unstable ankles will cause movement deficit, and during sporting activity such as running, jumping, and pivoting you are susceptible to valgus and varus forces causing strain to the tissue in your ankle.
To address this, rehabilitation/injury prevention/strengthening exercises are continuously evolving.
I will share with you an array of exercises to help you with this. Whether your goals align with that of a bodybuilder, powerlifter, crossfitter, track and field athlete, team sports athlete, or if you are a beginner or general fitness goer then this applies to you.
