Question

which of the following is an example of an open chain exercise?
a) mini squats
b) chest fly using dumbbells
c) seated calf raises
d) standing calf raises

Explanation:

Open chain exercises have a free - moving distal segment (e.g., hand or foot not fixed). In chest fly with dumbbells, the hands (distal segment) move freely. Mini squats, seated calf raises, and standing calf raises have the foot fixed (closed chain). So chest fly using dumbbells is an open chain exercise.

Answer:

b) Chest fly using dumbbells
