Multiple Choice

Which movement is included in the functional training for ASLR?

The movement chosen best supports the control and stability pattern needed for an active straight leg raise. Lunges train hip flexion and knee stability while you must keep the pelvis level and the torso braced as you lower and raise the body in a unilateral stance. This mirrors the demand of raising a straight leg without the pelvis tipping, building unilateral strength, hip control, and trunk stabilization that transfer directly to ASLR performance. Running emphasizes gait and endurance more than the precise pelvic control during a single-leg lift. Two-handed twists with a cable focus on turning the trunk, not maintaining pelvic neutrality during leg elevation. Bicep curls isolate the arms and don’t address the lower-extremity and trunk stabilization pattern required for ASLR.
