Definition
An exercise involving substantial movement at more than one joint and multiple muscle groups. This classification describes how an exercise distributes movement and load across joints or limbs. The label is useful for programming, but it does not by itself determine which exercise is best; selection depends on goal, skill, equipment, tolerance and transfer to the target task.
Practical use
Use the classification to balance a program and address specific constraints, while keeping exercise selection individualized.
