22 The following exercises were performed: back extension exercise, abdominal curl exercise, seated row, leg curl, leg extension, leg press, latissimus pulldown, and standing calf raise.
58 Similarly, an RCT carried out by Maeland et al 57 only performed one exercise (seated leg press) in middle-aged adults with CP and found no effect on mobility.
You can also do this exercise seated.
Below is an example of a dumbbell row exercise — seated row machines and cable setups are also common at gyms.
Four exercises (seated bent knee calf raise, seated straight knee calf press, standing calf raise, and tibialis anterior raise) will be trained unilaterally on left and right legs.
Alternatively, Farinatti et al 31 investigated the effects of RT once, twice, and three times per week, and observed that higher frequencies promoted greater increases in strength for certain exercises (seated dumbbell curl and knee extension) but not for others (bench press and standing calf raise).
As mentioned before this exercise can be done seated, and as a variant you can close your grip more so you can work the triceps.
If the student has a hard time sitting in a regular chair, ask the school's disability services for an exercise ball, seat wedge, or other form of seating.
