Hip Flexor Training Tips for Freedivers

The hip flexors are a group of muscles around the upper and inner thighs and pelvic region that play a crucial role in powering nearly every movement we perform. Whether you're diving, swimming, or even just standing, proper flexion and stabilization of the hip flexors are essential.
Strong hip flexors are especially important for swimmers and freedivers, as these muscles contribute significantly to powerful kicks and efficient movement through the water. Studies have shown a strong link between weak hip flexor stabilizing muscles and an increased risk of injuries. Therefore, maintaining strong hip flexors is vital for both performance and injury prevention in aquatic sports.
