Knee exercise - prolonged knee extension sitting

The prolonged knee extension is used to increase knee flexion whilst sitting. The athlete is seated as shown, with padding on the lower leg and a strap around the lower leg, wrapped around the back of the chair and the end held in the hands. The athlete pulls the strap until a tight feeling is felt on the knee. This should not be painful. This position is held for a few minutes before attempting to increase the stretch.
