Can muscle imbalances result from continued use of treadmills in training?
This depends of the individual’s technique, previous injuries, speed of training, and type of treadmill. If you have an existing muscle imbalance or injury, the treadmill may not help. The lack of variation may will only prolong recovery. Thus, in order to prevent muscle imbalance, variety is the key. Either alternate training surfaces or cardio machines. If the treadmill is your only option, alter your training methodology (Inclines, Speed, Interval, and Long Slow Distance, etc).
