For
bodybuilders, the reverse wrist curl is very important for maximum
development of the forearm muscles on the back of the forearm. These
wrist movements play an important role in lifting weights when the palm
is down and when executing exercises with the palm up as, for example,
in front and lateral arm raises.
Wrist
extension and hyperextension are important for executing backhand shots
in racket sports such as tennis, badminton, racquetball and squash.
The forearm
muscles involved are extremely important in holding the hand in line
with the forearm, which is needed whenever executing precise movements
with the fingers, as in drawing and painting, when holding various
implements, and in sports that require serving. Since the finger
extensor muscles are also assistant wrist extensors, the wrist extensor
muscles work together with the finger extensors to keep the fingers and
hand in line with the forearm.
