Strong ligaments benefit a joint by increasing the stability of it. Therefore reducing the risk of injury. Exercise brings about an increase in the amount of collagen which is what strengthens the ligament. Improved flexibilty is also brought about by having strong ligaments so when they get stretched they have a reduced chance of tearing/snapping.

What factors contributes to stability of hip joint?
There may be more than two, but the size of the acetabulum with regard to the head of the femur has an effect on stability. Also, the size and condition of the ligaments holding the joint together have a definite effect on the stability of the joint. I can think of a third possibility too; the health of the bones at the joint. Severe arthritis or other degenerative bone issues will also play a role in the stability of the hip joint.
What are the functions of ligaments and cartilage in the joint?
Ligaments are strong, flexible bands (or cords) which hold bones firmly together at the joints.Cartilage in adults provide a strong, flexible support between bones and wherever great strength and degree of rigidity is needed.
