Extension and flexion of the legs while seated (leg curl) ► leg curl

Individual work

In a seated position, move the lower legs towards the buttocks and back to the starting position in a controlled movement without momentum.

Starting position:
- Sitting, legs pointing almost straight ahead
- The knees are level with the axis of rotation of the device
- The foot pad is level with the ankle
- Buttocks and back fully seated, torso tensed

Final position:
- Knees bent, heels slightly behind the knees
- Press against the pad using the handles, the back does not move.

Attention:
No hollow back, the movement takes place exclusively in the knee joint (lower leg).

Variant I:
Perform the exercise on one leg to counteract any muscular imbalance.
Variant II:
The exercise can also be performed using the 2:1 method: push down with two legs and alternately bring only one leg back up.
