Unilateral vs. bilateral movements. Many contemporary strength and conditioning training programmes involve the use of bilateral and unilateral exercises. Bilateral exercises use both limbs in unison to move a load so that the resistance is being shared between two limbs, for example back squats. They can consist of single joint or multi joint movements. Many standardised strength tests or strength competitions (for example powerlifting) are focused around a bilateral movement. Bilateral exercises allow more stability than unilateral exercises, which is essential for strength training. Unilateral exercises give the athlete more freedom of movement but this allows more room for error, especially when using heavy weights. Unilateral exercises focus on each limb working independently of each other so that the stress is placed only on one limb, for example the Bulgarian squat.
