09.01.2022 Top Tip Tuesday Ankle position - use your anatomy to help you, not hinder you. Ideally we want the heel to be slightly down, this helps us use the ank...le joint and the tendons around the ankle to act like a spring and absorb the movement. Heels which are forced or fixed down too much, like the middle photo, don’t allow any absorption of movement through the ankle. Fixing the heel down causes the thigh to brace and our seat to pop up out of the saddle, making our seat less effective. This is why some riders find sitting trot easier with no stirrups as they can’t force the heels down as much and then are more relaxed through the thigh and able to use their seat to absorb the movement of the trot. Heels which come up higher than the toes cause riders to try to grip with the knee or lower leg. This means the rider will tip forward in the saddle and feel unbalanced. Improving foot and ankle position in the stirrup can help our seat position and vice versa. Commonly I find that a rider with a fixed seat will force the heels down and brace, and a rider that tips forwards will pull the heels up. There is no doubt that improving strength and control at the seat helps improve ankle and lower leg position. But also working on calf strength and flexibility is crucial to ensure we have enough range of movement in the ankle to allow absorption of movement and enough muscle endurance in the calves to allow light seat and jumping positions. Static stretches are not particularly useful but strengthening eccentrically (into a lengthened position) helps a lot to improve strength AND flexibility in a muscle. Tomorrow I’ll share some eccentric exercises for calf muscles. How is your ankle position?
