Weak glutes often contribute to common running injuries, such as runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, and Achilles tendinopathy.
Strong glutes are essential for strong running, powering your stride, improving your form, and propelling you forward.
"The single-leg stance test is a simple screen of balance, stability, and neuromuscular control," says UESCA-certified run coach and NASM-certified personal trainer Alison Marie Helms.
This test helps identify weaknesses and unlock a path to better running by assessing balance, stability, and neuromuscular control.
