Balance activities help all forms of movement, exercise, future sports!

Research shows that balance training can improve strength in the knee flexors and extensors. (The largest of these muscle groups would be the hamstrings and quadriceps.)

Balance is a function of joint stability, which is influenced by the strength and abilities of the musculoskeletal system. Three sensors drive a sense of balance: the eyes, the inner ear, and tiny sensors in each joint and muscle that sense the position of a joint relative to the rest of the body. While the eyes, and the inner ear contribute roughly equally to the sense of balance while standing still, dynamic activities, such as walking, running or jumping, engage musculoskeletal balance.
