Applications: Endurance Sports

Although endurance sports involve less momentary force production than other sports they still cause muscular imbalances. Furthermore, endurance sports build type 1 muscle fibre (muscle associated with low force production for extended durations) which causes a reduction in type 2 muscle fibre (muscle associated with high force production for short durations).

Type 2 muscle grows bigger than type one muscle (think of a sprinters physique in comparison to a marathon runners) which strengthens and stabilises joints more than type 1 muscle. This in combination with the muscle imbalances created by endurance sports makes over use injuries and impact injuries more likely.

Our Corrective Exercise programs offer an effective, innovative solution to correct these muscular imbalances and strengthen your joints by adding type 2 muscle. Call us today to find out how we can help improve your performance and reduce your susceptibility to injury.
