Resistance Bands Lower Leg Lateral Stability

Lateral stabilizing muscles of the lower leg (peroneus muscles) can be trained in many different ways. This video looks at how to strengthen these muscles using resistance bands.

What do your peroneus muscles do ? BEWARE: GEEK-SPEAK BELOW!! :)

One movement that may be a bit more difficult to do is "eversion", which literally means turning the inside out. Everting your foot means lifting up the lateral (i.e. outside) edge of the foot. When you do so, you'll be standing on the inside of your foot. Eversion is a movement of the ankle in the frontal plane, which means the movements run parallel to the front and back of your body.

PERFORMING THIS EXERCISE:

It is important to support the leg with band on it so that entire leg is stabilized and the band does not pull it inward.

What we are doing here - essentially - is allowing the tension of the band to bring your foot inward (into inversion). We are then moving our foot against the resistance and moving your foot outward (into eversion) just past the neutral position.

PERONEALS IN SPORT AND DAILY ACTIVITIES
Strong lateral stabilizers can improve balance, lateral stability and lateral acceleration as well as prevent ankle rolling (and help rehab rolled ankles). Sports such as soccer, hockey and rugby (and others) require strong peroneus muscles so athletes can be responsive to changes in lateral direction.
