To lighten resistance on the Chair, move the spring to which position?

• A. Lower position
• B. Higher position
• C. Middle position
• D. Off position

Answer: (A)

Spring tension on the Chair changes with where the spring is anchored. Moving the spring to a lower position reduces the lever arm and how much the spring must stretch during a movement, so the resistance felt becomes lighter. Higher anchoring increases tension and makes the exercise harder. The middle position would give a moderate load, and the off position would remove resistance entirely. So, to lighten the resistance, place the spring in the lower position.
