Medicine balls are weighted spheres typically constructed from durable rubber material.
They serve as effective implements for resistance exercises, providing versatility in replicating traditional free weight movements.
Additionally, due to their design, medicine balls can be incorporated into dynamic exercises involving throws or impacts with surfaces without causing damage.
The quadriceps—comprising muscles located at the front of the thigh—play key roles in knee extension and hip flexion.
This muscle group is essential for many lower body actions performed during physical activity.
Incorporating medicine balls into workouts can enhance engagement of the quadriceps through varied and functional exercises.
