Why is it important to keep feet hip-to-shoulder width apart, pointed straight ahead, with knees aligned with toes while performing a leg press?
  1. Increases ability to have deep range of motion at the bottom of the flexed motion
  2. Provides proper alignment for distal limbs
  3. Increases curvature of lower back, allowing for hyperextension
  4. Decreases stress to knees, hips, and lower back
Explanation
Answer - D - It important to keep feet hip-to-shoulder width apart, pointed straight ahead, with knees aligned with toes while performing a leg press to decrease stress to knees, hips, and lower back. Also, the pelvis should remain in neutral position to the spine in order to prevent lower back curvature or hyperextension.
