[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"weight bearing" means your foot is on the floor with your weight on it. just lifting weights is not considered weight bearing (knee extensions, for example). However any time you contract a muscle and it gives a little tug on your bone in the contraction, you stimulate the cells that make more bone. So there is benefit to both weightbearing closed chain exercises as well as weight lifting in an open chain fashion. Closed chain can be more functional for sure.[/quote] I never knew that was the definition of weight bearing. Boy, I wish a doctor had defined that and shared this important information with me years ago. [/quote]
