Which chair exercise can be classified as involving scapular mobilization?

• A. Frogs supine
• B. Sitting tricep press
• C. Standing leg pumps
• D. Tricep sit

Answer: (B)

The sitting tricep press is classified as involving scapular mobilization because it requires the engagement and stabilization of the shoulder blades (scapulae) during the movement. While performing this exercise, the positioning and actions of the arms will influence the alignment and movement of the shoulder girdle. This can lead to improved mobility and strength in the scapular region as it necessitates coordination between the scapulae and the shoulder joint.

In contrast, the other exercises listed do not focus on scapular mobilization in the same way. Frogs supine and standing leg pumps are more centered around the lower body and do not significantly engage the muscles responsible for scapular movement. The tricep sit may involve some shoulder engagement, but it does not primarily emphasize the mobility and stabilization of the scapulae as a key component of the exercise. Thus, the sitting tricep press stands out as the best choice for scapular mobilization.
