Nicholaus WOOLWARD Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi, what are some good exercises to help strengthen knee joints, like MCL, ACL? I have been doing twisting squats and collapse squats as Coach said in his podcast with Tim Ferris, am I missing anything else? (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi Nicholaus , as all the surround connective tissue structures, the ligaments, and tendon are strengthened with a process of more intensive exercises over the time. beginning from foundations 1 it is the key to a good process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholaus WOOLWARD Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thank you, I'm on week 2 of my foundations 1 programing. Only reason I ask is because 6months ago I had a minor grade 1 strain of my right MCL (freak accident in a football game). Just wanted to know anything extra out side of the courses to help with my knee and joint prep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Mainente Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Well, in gymnastics we have 2 type of preparation, basic that means developing general legs strength and specific that means developing connective tissue and strength in certain type fo angles which are typical of gymnastics landing, rebounds and apparatus. So the problem leads always to understand why you need stronger knees? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petra Dvorak Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 In Physiotherapy you do first analyze your individual deficiencies (injured tissue, passive joint flexibility, active joint mobility, propriocepsis and balance, strenght and endurance, muscle lenght etc etc) and then you work on them in an adequate intensity and angles, gradually adding difficulty. That's why it is always hard to give general recommandations on injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
