By improving strength, flexibility and muscle
balance in what is known as the posterior
chain. Because the majority of the weight of the
kettlebell is removed from the handle it
also maximizes rotator-cuff stability, shoulder
joint health, and range of movement improving
thoracic spine mobility.
The primary kettlebell exercise for developing
the posterior chain is the kettlebell swing
and emphasis is placed on hip extension and
hip power generation.Kettlebell swings help
you strengthen the core and lumbar spine
and therefore Kettlebell training is useful
as a back prehabilitation tool.
 The posterior chain is a group of muscles,
tendons and ligaments on the posterior kinetic
chain of the body.
Examples of these muscles include the biceps
femoris, gluteus maximus, erector spinae
muscle group, trapezius, posterior deltoids.
The posterior chain group of muscles in the
lower body are important in force development
for explosive movements like jumping and
sprinting.
