The impact of single-leg stability training on injury reduction in throwing athletes
Abstract
In the realm of throwing sports, athlete stability and coordination are crucial for achieving optimal performance and minimizing the risk of injury. From a biomechanical perspective, single-leg stability training has been demonstrated to enhance an athlete’s dynamic balance, improve joint stability, and increase the coordination and reaction speed of muscle groups. These physiological and functional enhancements for throwing athletes translate to better body control during high-speed movements and explosive power bursts, thereby reducing the incidence of sports injuries caused by imbalance or instability. This review offers insights into the potential benefits of single-leg stability training for reducing sports injuries among throwing athletes. It highlights the crucial role of such training in enhancing sports efficiency, preventing injuries, and improving overall performance. Ultimately, this paper proposes future research directions, including the application of advanced biomechanical analysis tools to customize individualized training programs and the validation of the effectiveness and sustainability of these strategies through long-term follow-up studies. The findings of this review not only provide theoretical support for the training practices of throwing athletes but also establish a solid foundation for further research in the field of sports science.
