you have to strengthen them maximally & dynamically.. maximally would be things like double & single leg standing calf raises + seated calve raises + various inversion/eversion strengthening exercises with tubing or just by itself..

dynamic strength would be stuff like single/double leg line hops for speed, single leg balance board, sprints, and all types of low level reactive work such as lateral barrier jumps, pogos, mr halftucks etc.

Any idea on how to fix pronated ankles? It doesn't bother me at all, it just looks weird and can get worse as time goes on I'm sure. I'm probably on a scale of 1-10 a 2 for severity. I don't have $250 bucks to dish out to buy custom orthotics. It's not associated with any pain or anything, just wondering how to get it fixed.

Would inversion drills help?

Thanks.

unfortunately i never give advice on that stuff.. i've never worked with it to the extend i'd need to, to give advice on it.. it's better to talk to a foot specialist etc, but try to find some solutions other than orthotics.

Can somebody answer what I asked though..so how do tendons produce force without myosin adarq?

Ppl like justin Darlington for instance, is it really their muscles producing most of the power or tendons and bones maybe?

tendons are springs... in terms of jumping/sprinting, they get loaded when muscle contracts eccentrically/isometrically, which causes deformation in the tendon, which is similar to a 'rubber band effect', elastic energy is stored in the tendons as the muscles lock up and produce force, then this energy is released when the tendons return to form.

regardless of the athlete you're talking about, the muscles are producing plenty of force in ballistic movements, but the variations in tendon length/insertions etc causes some to be able to store/release more energy than others.. a longer achilles by only a centimeter would provide ability to store far greater elastic energy than a tendon of 1cm less.

Never seen you dunk on that court before...

ya it's my fav court when it rains.. it's finally re-opened, been closed all summer because of a daycare basketball camp.

Anyways, adarq, on my SLRVJ I feel some collapsing on the ankle in the plant. To remedy this, does it just come down to strengthening my calves (calf raises) ??

you have to strengthen them maximally & dynamically.. maximally would be things like double & single leg standing calf raises + seated calve raises + various inversion/eversion strengthening exercises with tubing or just by itself..

dynamic strength would be stuff like single/double leg line hops for speed, single leg balance board, sprints, and all types of low level reactive work such as lateral barrier jumps, pogos, mr halftucks etc.

Also, is there a way to get "stiffer ankles"?
Thanks.

the stuff above is a start and will help to give you stiffer ankles, eventually once you make alot of progress with the basics, you could then graduate to single/double leg bounds, depth jumps, etc.
