What is an example of an open kinetic chain exercise?

Squats
Leg extensions
Push-ups
Planks

The correct answer is: Leg extensions

An open kinetic chain exercise is when the limbs are free to move in space, rather than being planted on the ground or a surface. Out of the given choices, leg extensions are the only exercise that fits this definition. Squats involve the feet being planted on the ground, push-ups involve the hands being planted on the ground, and planks involve both hands and feet being planted on the ground or other surface. Therefore, B is the only option that is a valid example of an open kinetic chain exercise.
