Getting ready for summer league. Going to the track. Shoud I wear ankle weights while running?

Question

Im a 6'1'' center, weigh 150. (9th grader) I want my legs to be stronger. Will they be alot stronger if I wear 5 pound ankle weights or should I just run?? What are the advanatages to ankle weights

Answer 1

The possibility of hip, knee, ankle and foot injury far outweigh the possible additional advantage you may eventually gain.  Don't use ankly weights.

Answer 2

There is no reason to ever run in ankle weights. There are no advantages and the increase in chance of getting hurt is ridiculous. If a doctor or coach tells you to wear ankle weights get away from them as fast as possible because they have no idea what they are talking about.
