My son some got some great knee exercises for soccer, the main thing was balancing the strength in the thigh. Cycling develops a restricted set of muscles. Knee stability was his problem, I'd imagine similar forces to climbing. One exercise is squats on a wobble board with two fists held between the knees to push against. Also one leg squat on wobble board. There where other balance things on a foam roller. It's all that proprioceptive stuff and engaging muscles that easily atrophy with our sedentary lifestyles, shoes, and flat walking surfaces. |
