Hip , why is it important for performance and injury prevention?
When you have good mobility in the hips, for example, having the ability to flex the hip with a straight leg past 100 degrees, eliminates strain on the lower back. When I talk about hip mobility I always reference kids under the age of 4. They are able to sit in the position, get into a deep with a straight back etc.
Essentially it is distribution of forces and strain over multiple areas when you do exercixes vs having poor mobility which creates a sticking point that focalises kinetic energy into one area.
To counter that point, good hip mobility encourages greater muscle recruitment to increase efficency of muscle groups and energy output and stabilizing joints ad body parts, thereby preventing injuries in the process.
