Why Bilateral vs Unilateral?
-
Unilateral work is important because requires greater proprioception and core stability than bilateral movements, whether you're sprinting, throwing, cutting or jumping, it's rare for both of limbs to be used simultaneously during movements, and helps improve muscular imbalances since athletes cannot rely on your stronger side to make up for a lack of strength in your weaker side.
-
Bilateral work is important because you can lift more weight which increases neuromuscular and CNS adaptations, allows for reciprocal inhibition which is the relaxation of muscles on one side of a joint so that prime movers on the other side can perform an action with greater force, and trains both sides at the same time which prevents pre set fatigue on the central nervous system that may happen during a unilateral set when having to switch sides.
