i do feel some slight pain in my knees when i do squats or leg extensions and seeing as i play some semi pro football(soccer) and absolutely love it, i do not want to risk getting a serious knee injury. so my question is this, can i just replace said exercises with hill sprints instead? 30 seconds sprint uphill, 45-60 seconds slow jog downhill.

Is hiit hill sprints enough of a workout for your legs?

the thing is, even if i do it slowly and with not a lot of resistance(a lot below max), i still feel a slight strain inside my knee. it's probably a result of 15 years of playing indoor football(futsal). on basically hardwood floors.
any alternatives to leg extensions and squats?Last edited by kel_varnsen; 06-13-2008 at 07:41 AM.
