The adductor longus (AL) muscle is commonly indicated in adductor pathology and may be considered a 'target' tissue, yet there is minimal literature examining adductor muscle activation during such exercises. Understanding variation in levels of AL activation during differing exercises, may inform ...
Five different muscles make up this group—the gracilis, obturator externus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, and adductor magnus—says physical therapist and exercise physiologist Milica McDowell, DPT. Generally speaking, these muscles run from the pelvis to the inside of the thigh, and work ...

The adductors are a group of muscles located in the inside or “medial” part of the thigh. This muscle group comprises four main muscles; the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, and gracilis. The adductor magnus is the biggest of the four and is posterior to the others. Al...
The study provides a ranking system on the activation levels of the adductor longus muscle for 6 common hip-adductor rehabilitation exercises, with the side-lying hip-adduction and ball-squeeze exercises displaying the highest overall activation. 展开 ...
outer thighs, glutes — we need all of that to work functionally together," says Henderson. "Because when one of those building blocks falls, then the building starts to collapse toward that side." Weak adductors are alsoa risk factorfor muscle strain, hence the need for inner-thigh exerci...
Your adductors aren’t just one muscle – they are five that work together to stabilize the hips and pull the legs together while helping with rotation. For all the anatomy lovers, this includes the adductor longus, adductor magnus, adductor brevis, gracilis, and the pectineus. Most inner thi...
Adductor brevis and adductor longus.These adductors trace a similar path, reinforcing the action of the broad central portion of the adductor magnus. Gracilis.This cord-like muscle runs the length of your inner thigh from your pelvis to the inside of your knee. ...
2. The Adductors This group is on the medial or inside of the hip and thigh and work to move the leg towards the mid-line of the body. This group consists of the adductors brevis, longus, thepsoas muscle group, ilacus, pectineus, and the gracilis. ...
