flexion, horizontal adduction and inward rotation of the humerus, and is best engaged
with exercises which involve shoulder
flexion and movements that end
with your elbows above your clavicle.

flexion exercises (such as leg curls) produced the best results
with the greatest regularity.

exercises performed
with elastic tubing including internal and external rotation, rowing and combinations of shoulder
flexion, adduction and extension.
While the bench press produces superior muscle activity compared to the shoulder press despite similar elbow
flexion ranges of motion, it appears the load lifted is also greater, thus indicating that greater loads produce superior triceps muscle activity during compound
exercises with similar elbow joint range of motion.
Exploring multiple sets of the Nordic hamstring curl
exercise, Marshall et al. (2015) noted that a single set of 5 repetitions led to substantial reductions in peak eccentric knee
flexion moments during the
exercise,
with even further reductions in subsequent sets, implying that performing the Nordic hamstring curl prior to practice or other
exercise might not be advisable.

with arms at the horizontal and
with arms close to the sides) are necessary in order to work all muscle fibers to a similar extent.
PROM
exercises are performed by pushing or pulling on the lower part of the limb to induce
flexion or extension in a target joint.26 They are typically performed in patients
with stiffness secondary to surgery or in patients unable to walk on their own.27 The benefits of PROM include prevention of joint contracture and soft tissue adaptive shortening, maintenance of mobility between soft tissue layers, reduced pain, enhanced blood and lymphatic flow, and improved synovial fluid production and diffusion.28
Patients
with PL commonly have compensatory postures (FIGURE 3), including increased cranial weight shift and increased
flexion of the lumbosacral, coxofemoral, and stifle joints.23 To address compensatory patterns, trunk - and core - strengthening
