Examples to support your sport
What it asks of you
Deep repeated lunging under fatigue, with wrist and forearm control. The aerobic demand is higher than it looks and the lunge depth is what separates players who last from players who do not.
Where to build durability
Hips, knees and wrists. Train the bottom of the lunge and the forearm deliberately.
Training guidance, not medical advice. Pain that persists is a question for a clinician, not a programme.
