Single leg balance exercises challenge the kinetic chain from the ankle, knee, hip and core, and challenge the body from head to toe. Unilateral leg training helps to avoid dominance of one leg, which can occur when only bilateral (both legs) exercises are chosen. Single leg exercises also help to balance any movement, strength or flexibility imbalances. From a functional standpoint, many sports and daily activities require a weight transfer and shift from foot to foot during movement.
