Neural
Seated knee extension exercises produced approximately 8% greater peak torque and work output compared to supine knee extension exercises.
Practitioners may consider seated knee extension exercises for improved performance in strength and work output.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Knee extensors' peak torque and work output were approximately 8% higher (p=0.04) in the seated when compared to the supine hip position.
