Benefits of exercise

Hip extension (one leg) of the 2nd level on FISIO functional hinges is performed with the fixation of the feet behind the attachment point.

This functional exercise loads the buttocks, shin muscles and the entire back of the thighs well. The purpose of this exercise is to develop the muscles of the back of the hips and buttocks, as well as strengthen and develop the hip joint, which provide a large amplitude of movement of the lower legs, namely flexion, stretching, retraction, reduction and rotation.

Insufficient flexibility of the back of the thigh affects the work of the knee joints and can make it difficult to perform various movements both in sports and in everyday life. Regular exercise has a beneficial effect on the flexibility and tone of the leg muscles, helps reduce the risk of injury, strengthens the lower back muscles, which in general will preserve health and athletic longevity.
