Leg bending strength equipment

Leg curl

— exercise for bending the legs at the knees under load. In the traditional version, when performing it, the athlete lies on his stomach on a special bench, resting his ankles on the movable lever of the simulator, and bends his legs in an upward direction, overcoming the resistance of the lever. Other variations include the standing leg curl (where you work with one leg at a time) and the seated leg curl (here, the legs are in the starting position horizontal and tilted down when bent). Anyway, this exercise mainly involves the back muscles of the thighs and, to a much lesser extent, the muscles of the legs.
