Understanding and training cocontractions in high intensity movement

October 31, 2019/by Leigh Egger & Huub Habets

Across a range of different high-intensity sports like running, sprinting, changing direction, throwing and kicking, the body creates stability by cocontracting or co-activating muscles that surround joints or regions that are under stress. Cocontraction provides stability to some segments or body regions – so that they can be controlled – whilst others move.
