The primary muscle being targeted during the hanging leg raise is the rectus abdominis. This exercise primarily involves raising the legs while hanging, effectively engaging the core muscles, particularly the abdominals. Additionally, the hip flexors play a significant role in assisting the movement. Overall, the action can be referred to as a "hanging leg raise."

popliteus is not involved in plantarflexion...its involved in leg flexion
The bending of an arm or leg is called flexion.
This movement is called knee flexion. It is controlled by the hamstrings at the back of the thigh and the calf muscles. The knee joint flexes to allow the leg to bend and bring the lower leg towards the upper leg.
