What is a closed kinetic chain exercise?

An exercise focusing mainly on cardiovascular endurance
An exercise where the terminal segment can be moved freely
A yoga-based stretching routine
An exercise where the terminal segment cannot be moved freely

The correct answer is: An exercise where the terminal segment cannot be moved freely

A closed kinetic chain exercise is defined as an exercise in which the terminal segment of the body is fixed or in a stationary position. Option A is incorrect because closed kinetic chain exercises are not mainly focused on cardiovascular endurance, but rather on joint stability and strengthening. Option B is incorrect because in a closed kinetic chain exercise, the terminal segment cannot move freely. Option C is incorrect because although yoga may involve some forms of closed kinetic chain exercises, not all yoga-based stretches fall under this definition. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
