    First year DPT student here, this concept was something that just was not clicking no matter how many times it was gone over or I asked about. This video and how you explained made it click and I appreciate so much!

      @kmac9265 so happy to hear it was helpful! It's a bit of a funky concept, but once you get it then the application of it comes pretty easy :) best of luck with your studies and thanks for checking out the channel!

    how about a one arm push up? you can now no longer draw a chain through both arms.. or does the chain go twice through the same arm?

    • @aphysionamedjonah
      @aphysionamedjonah  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Good question!
      It would remain a closed kinetic chain in this case. What makes it a CKC or OKC is just the end connection. With a one hand pushup, the end of the chain would still be "closed" because the contact point through which the body is applying force is an immovable object (the ground). Even though the other hand/chain is free and open, it's not a part of the force generation so not really considered in determining whether OKC or CKC.

      @aphysionamedjonah  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey there! Pilates is definitely not my area of expertise but I'll give it a go :)
      A closed Kinetic chain mat exercise that comes to mind would be a glute bridge, whereas an open Kinetic Chain mat exercise could be the deadbug core exercise.

    If Chuck Norris does a push up is it open or closed chain?

    • @aphysionamedjonah
      @aphysionamedjonah  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Open. He remains stationary with the earth moving down as he pushes it with his arms. Experts correlate his workouts with most seismic natural disasters occurring over the past few decades.

    So what about oulling a weight i can't move is that closed

    • @aphysionamedjonah
      @aphysionamedjonah  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good question!
      If by pulling that weight you pulled your body towards the weight, then it would become a closed kinetic chain exercise. This is a pretty niche scenario though, mimicking a closed kinetic chain exercise of a pull up, but the location of the weight (on the ground, rack, wherever) and the position of gravity will obviously dictate how realistic of an "exercise" it is.

    Is pull up / chin up closed kinetic chain or open kinetic chain ?

    • @aphysionamedjonah
      @aphysionamedjonah  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know, that one's a bit confusing right! Normally we're using the ground, wall, or a bench to close the circuit, and in the case of a chin up things are a bit different to picture.
      A chin up would be a closed kinetic chain exercise though, as the bar itself is fixed and not moving. The body is "free" to move, but this is also the case in closed kinetic chain movements like a pushup (picture a chin-up like a pushup on a bar).
      Hope this is helpful!

  • @douglasmarkwith
    @douglasmarkwith 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The course I'm taking asks the following question:
    "When the body is stabilized by external assistance during exercises such as a bench, it is termed a _______."
    It says the answer is "open kinetic chain exercise," which is deeply confusing to me, even having watched this video. Doesn't this question rely on the exercise being performed? I'm feeling pretty stupid right now because I just don't seem to understand why the answer to that question is "open kinetic chain exercise." Ugh.

    • @aphysionamedjonah
      @aphysionamedjonah  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey there, thanks for the question!
      The wording of that question seems pretty roundabout, because it seems as though what it's asking about is implied as opposed to directly stated. If the body is stabilized by external assistance, then I think what they're implying is that the extremities or limbs MUST be unstabilized and moving freely thus making it an open kinetic chain exercise. Basically, if your body is stabilized in one position, then your hands or feet must be free to move, otherwise no movement will be occurring whatsoever because both the body AND the extremities are stabilized.
      A pretty tricky wording on that one because it seems to be relying on what's implied, but that would be my best understanding of it!

  • @tasosmakris1
    @tasosmakris1 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What is the point in making up nonsense names to differentiate between these movements? For example, there are two different leg press machines: 1) where we push on the platform and the platform moves (since the limbs go further away, this is considered “open chain movement”) and 2) where we push on the platform and the platform stays stable but our body moves (“closed chain”). These two movements are quite clear and obvious for people. But some crazy scientists thought of making things more complicated by adding nonsense names such as “open/closed chain”. And I ask: why? Why do we have to used these nonsense terms? It would be way easier to just define the movement as: the exercise in which we are stable and our limbs are moving or our limbs are stable and we are moving….

    • @aphysionamedjonah
      @aphysionamedjonah  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey! I think the reason the terms are used is to try and group the exercises into types. The types being broadly: against fixed resistance or moving an object with the body remaining fixed. These terms aren't the most helpful for the average individual I agree, they're really more beneficial when discussing exercise theory and physiology. In other words, no need to worry about these terms and how they apply to the exercises you're doing unless you're looking to try and group/understand exercises on a deeper level re: what's happening in the body. Hope this is helpful!
