Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In power exercises, the three joints that extend explosively are the hip, knee, and ankle. This is because these joints are involved in generating the most force and power in movements like the power clean, power snatch, and power jerk. While the other joints listed (shoulder, elbow, and wrist) may also play a role in these exercises, they are not the primary joints involved in explosive extension.
