The exercise by the skier is known as a wall sit exercise. It is majorly done to reinforce or build isometric strength and endurance in the calves, glutes, and quadriceps muscles. This is an intense workout, particularly for the quadriceps muscles. Holding the 90 degrees position for a longer time leads to intense pain in the quadriceps muscles. Jogging is much easier than exercising. The main reason is that just slight displacement of the body during jogging enhances the activity in the gluteal area. In addition, if someone lifts his legs during jogging, he or she gets aligned in the neutral pelvic region better than what exercises can do.
An exercise for a skier involves sitting against a wall as if you are sitting in a chair but without a chair. What kind of exercise is this, which muscles are doing the most of the work (which ones begin to hurt), which do you think would be easier, 3 minutes of exercise or 3 minutes of jogging? Explain.
