You can’t develop functional strength without stability. Strength Ball Training shows you how to combine Swiss ball and medicine ball exercises to develop greater strength and stability and enhance your sport performance. Because strength balls provide an unstable environment in which to train, they prepare you to meet the unique demands of the sport environment. This environment is where interaction with teammates and counteraction to opponents, read-and-react situations, and body contact can all force your body into unpredictable, unstable positions. By using stability balls in your training program, you can improve performance, reduce the risk of injury, improve balance, and build strength in the abdomen and lower back. Written by strength and conditioning experts, Strength Ball Training is your complete guide to using Swiss balls and medicine balls.
