Answer 1

The joints involved in the seated row exercise typically include the shoulder joint, elbow joint, and wrist joint. The primary movement during the seated row is the pulling of the elbows backward, which engages the muscles in the upper back and the muscles surrounding these joints. The shoulder joint allows the movement of the arms to pull the weight towards the body, the elbow joint allows the bending and extending of the arms, and the wrist joint supports the grip on the handle or cable attachment used in the exercise.
