First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 68 sedentary adults to see how two different exercise types—open kinetic chain (like leg extensions) and closed kinetic chain (like squats)—affect balance and jumping ability. Participants exercised for four weeks. The goal was to find out which type works better for improving physical performance in people who don't move much.
