Anche di pumping a livello di retto femorale.
Tuttavia i rischi o le limitazioni dovute all'utilizzo della Leg Extension rispetto ad altri esercizi superano di gran lunga i benefici.
Riporto uno stralcio di un articolo letto da poco su T-Nation.
Leg Extension Risks:
1. Increased patellofemoral joint reaction force, knee movement, and joint stress in the most commonly used range of motion.
2. Reduced hamstrings activity.
3. Reduced VMO activity and late onset of firing.
4. Non-existent hip adductor and abductor contribution.
5. Increased rectus femoris firing.
6. Constant ACL tension.
7. Higher patellar ligament, quadriceps tendon, and patellofemoral and tibiofemoral forces with the most commonly utilized loading parameters.
8. Increased lateral patellar deviation.
9. Insufficient involvement of surrounding joints to ensure optimal functioning.
10. Poor training economy (no carryover to closed-chain performance from open-chain exercises).
Leg Extension Benefits:
1. Will give you a good pump, but not even close to the benefits you'll get from squatting and single-leg movements.
2. Uh, wait, there's really only one benefit — and it's pretty weak.
