010-111 · Question #286

An appropriate exercise movement to develop the ________ is a ________ .

The correct answer is C. wrist flexors; wrist curl. Wrist curls directly train the wrist flexors through concentric wrist flexion, making this the only correctly matched muscle-to-movement pairing among the choices. All other options pair a muscle with an antagonistic or unrelated movement.

Why each option

Wrist curls directly train the wrist flexors through concentric wrist flexion, making this the only correctly matched muscle-to-movement pairing among the choices. All other options pair a muscle with an antagonistic or unrelated movement.

Aquadriceps; knee flexion

The quadriceps are knee extensors, not flexors; knee flexion is performed primarily by the hamstrings, so this pairing has the function reversed.

Btriceps; arm curl

The triceps brachii produces elbow extension, not elbow flexion; an arm curl targets the biceps brachii, making this pairing incorrect.

Cwrist flexors; wrist curlCorrect

The wrist flexors - primarily the flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris - concentrically contract to produce wrist flexion. A wrist curl exercise loads this exact movement pattern against resistance, making it the appropriate exercise selection for developing these muscles.

Dhip abductors; half-squat

Hip abductors are developed by hip abduction movements such as lateral leg raises or cable abduction, not half-squats, which primarily stress the quadriceps and glutes.
