Question

What are some muscular asymmetries that must be corrected prior to beginning a strength and conditioning program? Why? Please explain

Answer 1

Ans) A muscle imbalance means that the strength or size of muscle on one side of the body is not symmetrical to the strength or size of muscle on the other side of the body.

- Muscle imbalances can happen for all kinds of reasons.

Example: Athletes who play baseball, or golf may produce muscle imbalances because they use a dominant side to throw or swing. Gym veterans and newbies alike can also develop muscle imbalances by relying on their naturally dominant side to push through a PR, heavy lift or intense movement.

It is always best to find the root cause of a muscle imbalance and to make a precise effort to fix it. Muscle imbalance shouldn't be taken lightly--it could create bigger problems, from posture to spinal positioning, which can ultimately lead to issues walking, sitting and even lying down as time progresses.
