ankle weights shouldn't really be used for that function. the load is placed in a unnatural location and only works the quadriceps when the leg is lifted. this basically creates a greater muscle imbalance between the quads and hamstrings

Depends on what you imply through "kick" and "sluggish". Do you ever take a look at to elevate your leg with out the aid of momentum, so you're simply utilising a consistent muscular contraction over a interval of approximately 5 seconds earlier than it involves an entire leisure, after which simply leaving your leg there. If you do this, I won't reduce to rubble your knee, it's going to with no trouble a be a weight lifting endeavor for you leg. If, nevertheless, you utilize momentum to aid elevate you leg, you have got a risk of knee harm. I will immediately disagree with folks who declare this to be detrimental if performed adequately. Stone and iron sandles weighing among 5 and ten kilos were utilized in okanawa for 3 centuries through critical proponents of karate, and critical proponents of karate are famed in okanawa for longivity, well wellbeing and vitility, which is not any small challenge within the longest lived country on this planet. Students of such masters record that even at sixty the academics can OUT RUN twenty yr ancient pupils, and I am skeptical that an ancient guy with dangerous knees would do this.

Lets just say you'd be used to carrying the weight after a while.
