- ARotational
- BPulling
- CBend-and-lift
- DSingle-leg
Show answer and explanations
Answer
D
Stepping up a stair requires controlling weight transfer onto the leading leg, which defines the single-leg pattern.
A
Rotational patterns transfer force through trunk rotation; stair climbing mainly loads one leg at a time.
B
Pulling draws resistance toward the body with the arms; the stair drill is driven by the legs.
C
Bend-and-lift uses both legs symmetrically; here the weight shifts onto one supporting leg.
D
Stepping up a stair requires controlling weight transfer onto the leading leg, which defines the single-leg pattern.
