Which exercise is listed as a wrist-injury precaution?

Thigh Stretch Tendon Stretch Star Control Front Facing Carriage

Correct Answer:

Tendon Stretch

Explanation:

When protecting a wrist injury, the goal is to lengthen and mobilize the forearm tendons without placing stress directly on the wrist joints. Tendon Stretch achieves this by guiding the hand and forearm through a controlled stretch while keeping the wrists in a neutral, supported position, often using straps or handles to transfer tension away from the joint and into the forearms and shoulder stabilizers. This makes it the safest option for maintaining mobility and tendon health during healing. In contrast, the other movements focus less on controlled, wrist-safe loading: one is leg-focused, and the others require wrist engagement and load that can irritate a healing wrist.
