Miscellaneous Info Flashcards
Exercise performed typically where the hand or foot is free to move. These exercises are typically non-weight bearing, with movement occurring at the elbow or knee joint. If there is weight applied it is to the distal portion of the limb.
Ex: Bench Press, Biceps Curl, Leg Extension
Open Chain Exercises
Performed where the hand or foot is fixed and cannot move. The hand/foot remains in constant contact with the surface, usually the ground or the base of a machine. These exercises are typically weight bearing where an exerciser uses their own body weight and/or external weight.
Ex: Pushups, Pull Ups, Squats, Lunges
