Hanging positionThe body is suspended by grasping over a

horizontal barThe fore arms being pronated the arms

straight and at least shoulder width apartThe head is held high and the scapulae

are drawn down and together so that the neck appears as long as possible

The trunk and legs hand straight with the heels together and the ankle plantaflexed

Hanging position

muscle workThe flexors of the fingers work strongly to grasp

the bar All the muscles round the wrist work strongly to

reduce the strain on the joint and to act as synergists and fixators for the flexors of the fingers

The flexors of the elbows work to reduce the strain on the joint

The adductors of the shoulders work strongly to lift the body on the arms (especially latissimus Dorsi posteriorly and pectoralis major anteriorly)

The depressors retractors and medial rotators of the scapulae work strongly to fix the scapulae and to brace the upper back

The pre-vertebral and posterior neck muscles work reciprocally to maintain the position of the head and neck

The flexors of the lumber spine and the extensors of the hips work to correct the tendency to arch the back as the result of the over –action of latissimus dorsi, working on the sacrum

The adductors of the hips work to keep the legs together

The extensors of the knees may work to maintain full extension

Effects and Uses As the muscle work for the arms and upper

back is extensive and strong the position is only suitable for those in whom muscular strength and body weight are well balanced

As the weight of the shoulders is taken off the spine and the weight of the legs exert traction upon it, it is straightened and elongated

The thorax is fixed in the inspiratory position and breathing is difficult ,therefore the position is unsuitable for weak patients and those suffering from cardiac or respiratory condition

The effect of stretching the body is stimulating and much enjoyed

Especially by children

Derived position from hanging

1)Half hanging2)Prone falling3)Hanging knee4)Flexed arm hanging

HALF HANGING Hanging on one arm and the rest of the body are free

Effect and useThe position requires very strong muscle work for the back muscle especially the scapulae retractors which work against gravity and the weight of the body

Normally it is used in gymnastic activities

Prone falling

MUSCLE WORK

The extensor of the elbow and all the muscle of the shoulder region work strongly to support the weight of the body ,while the serratusanteroir hold the scapulae firmly against the chest wall

The neck extensors controlled by the pre vertebral muscles maintain the position of the head against the pull of the gravity

The flexors of the lumber spin prevent sagging of the trunk

The extensors of the knees keep them straight

Effect and uses Many muscles work strongly and the necessary coordination is difficult the position is therefore only suitable for those whose arm are strong in relation to their body length and weight

HANGING KNEE

HANGING KNEEif you wish to strengthen your abdominal

muscle go for the hanging knee raise exercise The hanging knee raise is an exercise which

is aimed at strengthening the lower abdomen muscles

Although you can literally hang from anything to perform this exercise the most popular method is to hang down from a pull up bar

All you require to do is to hang from a horizontally place bar keeping your arm parallel to the body length

This exercise is highly recommended if you want a flat belly

FLEXED ARM HANGING

FLEXED ARM HANGING

The flexed –arm hang is an exercise that test the strength and endurance of the muscle in the upper body

The main muscle used for the flexed-arm hang are the biceps forearm and finger flexed and several back

The flexed-arm hang is used by body builders and in military training
