Benefits of exercise

Flexion of the hip and lower leg of the 1st level on FISIO functional hinges is performed with the fixation of the feet behind the attachment point.

This is an effective exercise for working out the muscles of the back of the thigh and the muscles of the shin. This exercise perfectly isolates the hamstrings that run along the back of the legs, making them flexible and elastic.

Shifting the force vector beyond the attachment point reduces the load, which makes it possible for novice athletes with any level of physical fitness to perform this exercise. During this exercise, in addition to increasing the strength of the legs and buttocks, the muscles of the cortex are involved in the work, which are responsible for maintaining an even position of the body.

Regular performance of this exercise will help to increase the strength and volume of the leg muscles, as well as improve coordination of movements.
