| Sling Training Bauchübung | |

Starting Position The feet are about shoulder width apart. Stand frontally to the anchor point with the legs bend at about 90°. Lean the upper body forward and hold the back straight. Both hands hold the handle in front of the body at hip level. The PT stands sideways to the trainee with slightly bent legs, holding the tension. |
Movement The legs get stretched and the body becomes upright. The arms remain stretched. The PT releases the tension while intercepting the resulting load by going into a squat position. The PT thereafter raises up again and pulls the trainee back to the initial position. |
|
Hint Keep the back straight and slightly extend the hip when rising forward. Do not move the kneecaps over the toes. |
