vedoliikkeisiin

Vedoliikkeisiin is a Finnish term used in biomechanics, sports science, and physical education to refer to movements that primarily involve pulling actions, as opposed to pushing movements. The word is formed from veto (pull) and liike (movement), with the illative plural suffix -iin expressing direction or focus, so vedoliikkeisiin literally conveys “into/ toward pulling movements.”

In practice, vedoliikkeisiin describe categories of exercises and movement patterns where the main force is generated by pulling toward the body or toward a fixed anchor. Common examples include rows, pull-ups, lat pulldowns, face pulls, and various cable or resistance-band pulls. These movements tend to emphasize muscles of the back, biceps, and rear shoulders, and they are frequently contrasted with pushing movements such as bench press, overhead press, and push-ups.

The concept is used in fitness programming, coaching notes, and Finnish-language biomechanics discussions to help athletes and students balance training. A typical programming approach aims for a balance between vedoliikkeisiin and pushing movements to promote shoulder stability, postural health, and overall muscular balance. In rehabilitation contexts, emphasis on proper technique and progressive loading of pulling movements can aid in recovery from shoulder or upper back issues, provided professional guidance is followed.
