Springload and reps for Hip ROM #2 Leg Extension?

Springload and reps for Hip ROM #2 Leg Extension?

• A. 1.5-2.5 springs; 8-10 reps.
• B. 1-2 springs; 6-8 reps.
• C. 2-3 springs; 12-15 reps.
• D. 3-4 springs; 4-6 reps.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is choosing a middle-ground resistance and a moderate number of reps to train hip range of motion effectively. Using about 1.5-2.5 springs provides enough tension to engage the hip muscles through the leg extension without forcing the body to compensate, while still allowing smooth, controlled movement. Doing 8-10 reps gives enough training volume to reinforce the movement pattern and improve proprioception without fatiguing the form. If the load is too light or you do too many repetitions, the movement may not challenge the hip stabilizers or promote real ROM gains. If the load is too heavy or you do too few reps, the range of motion can be sacrificed or form can break down. This mid-range load with a moderate rep count hits the goal of improving hip ROM with control.
