Questiоn 11. The difficulty оf perfоrming а leg rаise exercise could be modified with different leg positions. Compаred to the leg position shown below (knee extended), how does bending the knee affect the difficulty of the task? Assuming the axis of rotation is at the greater trochanter, write your answer in the blanks below: Answer: Compared to the leg position below (knee extended), bending the knee will shift the lower body center of mass ________________ (towards or away) from the axis of rotation. Thus, the lower body weight (WL) has a ___________ (longer or shorter) moment arm with bended knee. As a result, the external moment generated by WL about the axis of rotation is _______________ (decreased or increased) and _______ (more or less) forces will be required from the lower abs and hip flexor muscles to counteract the moment of the leg weight. Thus the task is ______________ (more difficult or easier) with bended knee.
