What it is
Hip stability evaluates the control and strength of your hips to maintain proper alignment. Enhanced hip stability helps prevent injuries and improves overall running form.
Why it matters
- Weak hip stability causes knee valgus (knee caving inward)
- Primary factor in IT band syndrome and runner's knee
- Unstable hips lead to compensatory movements and injuries
- Affects your ability to maintain form when fatigued
- Critical for preventing stress fractures and hip pain
