Which exercises in the balance strength level of training can use the progression of reaching to the knee, then shin, and then foot?
  1. Single-leg squat touchdown and single-leg Romanian deadlift
  2. Single-leg squat touchdown and lunge to balance
  3. Single-leg squat and step-up to balance
  4. Lunge to balance and step-up to balance
Explanation
Answer - A - In the balance strength level of training, the progression of reaching to the knee, then shin, and then foot are used in the single-leg squat touchdown and the single-leg Romanian deadlift. This should be used when the client initially lacks the flexibility to reach down to the toes. The progression works towards full flexibility in reaching the toes. The other exercises in the balance strength level do not require reaching toward the toes.
