While recovering from an injury, Juanita has to focus on low-impact exercises. Her physical therapist suggests that she try a few isometric movements. What is the MOST appropriate isometric movement for the physical therapist to recommend to Juanita?

Question

sit-ups


walking


wall sits


bicep curls

Answer 1

The MOST appropriate isometric movement for Juanita to try, given her need for low-impact exercises during recovery, is wall sits.

Wall sits involve holding a seated position against a wall, which engages various muscle groups without the risk of dynamic movements that could exacerbate an injury. The other options, such as sit-ups, walking, and bicep curls, are not isometric exercises or might involve more movement than is advisable during her recovery.
