hip extensor, gluteus maximus
Antagonist: lats Agonist: Abdominals
The muscles involved in hip extension are the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and adductor magnus.
knee flexion and hip extension.Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.
Vertebral Foraminal Entrapment on Hip Flexion and Knee Extension
The antagonist of the glutes, or gluteus maximus, is the hip flexors. These muscles are responsible for flexing the hip joint, while the glutes are responsible for extending the hip joint. Strengthening both the glutes and hip flexors is important for maintaining balance and stability in the hips.
Agonist(s) - Gluteus Maximus/Quadriceps FemorisSynergist(s) - Biceps Femoris (Hamstrings)Stabilizer(s) - Transversus AbdominisAntagonist(s) - Hip Flexors (Mainly the Iliopsoas)Movement(s) - Hip Extension/Knee ExtensionPlanes - Sagittal PlaneYour agonist(s) (when done properly i.e. sitting back/knees out) for a squat will be your glutes and quadriceps. Your synergist(s) will actually be your hamstrings as the biceps femorislong head assists greatly in hip extension. Your antagonist(opposing muscle) during a squat will be your Hip flexors i.e. Hip flexion.
To improve hip extension for better workout performance, focus on exercises that target the hip extensor muscles such as deadlifts, hip thrusts, and glute bridges. Additionally, incorporate stretching and mobility exercises to improve flexibility in the hip joint. Consistent practice and proper form are key to seeing progress in hip extension.
Agonist - Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii Antagonist - Bicep Brachii, Latissimus Dorsi
The purpose of the gluteus maximus is extension, including hyperextension, of the hip.
Hip Extension the agonist would be Glutues Maximus
