Answer:

Single-leg balance

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't realize it, but being able to master your balance and agility is just as important as having a well-muscled body. This can be paramount when engaging in intense physical activity such as skiing. Overall, for a sportsman, having a good balance allows them to exercise more effectively, reducing the risk of injury and optimizing the exercises performed.

Mastering your balance in daily life can prevent falls and twists and help you become more stable. Performing exercises while working on balance also allows you to strengthen your muscles, tone them up and improve their reactivity. This also provides some well-being associated with a sense of mastery. One exercise that helps us establish balance in our body is the single-leg balance.

This exercise consists of standing upright with your spine raised, one knee in front of you horizontally if you can. Hold for at least 5-20 seconds and close your eyes, trying to hold for at least 5 seconds.
