Seated Leg Extension M7 2003 by Into Wellness and Realleader USA precisely targets the major muscle group of the thigh, i.e the quadriceps muscles (the rectus femoris and the vast muscles). Users can perform this exercise to build lower body strength and muscle definition as part of a strength training workout.
key features
This exercise works on the quadriceps, which are the large muscles of the front of the thigh. In technical terms, this is an “open chain kinetic” exercise, which means while in the leg extension, the user is moving the padded bar, so the legs aren’t stationary, and thus the chain of movement is open in the leg extension.The quads are well-developed in cycling, but if the user’s cardio is running or walking the user is only exercising the hamstrings at the back of the thigh. In this case, developing the quads enhances balance.Building quads can also increase the force of kicking movements, which can be beneficial in sports that involve a lot of leg movements such as soccer or martial arts.
