CLOSED CHAIN
EXERCISE

• CLOSED CHAIN EXERCISE INVOLVE

MOTIONS IN WHICH THE BODY
OR PROXIMAL SEGMENTS MOVE
ON A DISTIL SEGMENT THAT IS
FIXED OR STABILIZED ON A
SUPPORT SURFACE
• MOVEMENT AT ONE JOINT
CAUSES SIMULTANEOUS
MOTIONS AT DISTIL AND
PROXIMAL JOINTS IN A
RELATIVELY PREDICTABLE
MANNER
 • DEVELOP A CLOSED-CHAIN

EXAMPLE
 • Rather than having muscle
groups work in isolation,
closed-chain exercises allow
for the simultaneous activation
of antagonistic muscle groups
(e.g., the quads and the
ADVANTAGES hamstrings during leg squats)
• promoting increased joint
stability and a simulation of
functional movement patterns.
 • When there is some dysfunction
associated with injury, the
predictable pattern of movement
that occurs during closed kinetic
chain activity might not be possible
because of pain, swelling, muscle
DISADVANTAG weakness, or limited ROM.
ES • movement compensations result,
which interfere with normal
motion and muscle activity
