Prone hip extension with knee flexionThe direction of fiber alignment within a muscle is known to influence the effectiveness of muscle contraction. However, most of the commonly used clinical gluteus maximus (GM) exercises do not consider the direction of fiber alignment within the muscle. ...
In all positions, the FRC tended to increase compared with control (significantly in the knee–chest and frame positions). Overall, the knee–chest position allowed the largest lung volumes with the exception of the inspiratory capacity which decreased significantly compared with the control. The ...
amplitude of the hip joint, including the gluteus maximus (GM), biceps femoris (BF), and semitendinosus (ST) muscles generated by three different exercises: prone hip extension (PHE), prone table hip extension (PTHE), and prone table hip extension with 90 knee flexion (PTHEK), with compen...
