The muscles involved in hip extension are the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and adductor magnus.
The semitendinosus and the semimembranosus muscles assist the biceps femoris in the action of flexing the knee joint. The semitendinosus and the semimembranosusmuscles also work together to perform extension of the hip joint.

Vertebral Foraminal Entrapment on Hip Flexion and Knee Extension
Synergists help steady movements and fixators help stablize the prime movers origin.
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.
The purpose of the gluteus maximus is extension, including hyperextension, of the hip.
