What does NOT describe an open kinetic chain exercise?

The terminal segment can be moved freely
It's primarily used in weightlifting routines
It includes exercises like leg extensions
It is characterized by fixed terminal segments

The correct answer is: It is characterized by fixed terminal segments

An open kinetic chain exercise is a type of movement where the terminal segment, typically the hands or feet, is not fixed and can move freely in space. This type of exercise is commonly used to isolate specific muscles and joints, making option A a description of an open kinetic chain exercise. Option B incorrectly refers to weightlifting routines, which can include both open and closed chain exercises. Option C is also incorrect as leg extensions are a common example of an open kinetic chain exercise. Therefore, option D is incorrect as it describes a closed kinetic chain exercise, where the terminal segment is fixed.
