(Angle refers to the angle between the small reverse leg extension and the thigh). Each time hold until exhaustion, repeat 3-5 times, rest half a minute between times. When you can easily complete a certain angle, you can advance to the next angle. You can also increase the weight in this angle to increase the difficulty. 2, knee flexion exercise (with the help of elastic band) sitting, knees naturally bent, feet off the ground, one end of the elastic band fixed, the other end fixed to the ankle.
