Part 4 – Other Causes for Gluteus Maximus Dysfunction

 

Most Glut Exercises are Hamstring Exercises

 

Image:LyingLegCurlMachineExercise.JPGCommon exercises performed in the fitness centre involve knee flexion which focus on biceps femoris (Long & Short Head), semitendinosus, semimembranosus, gracilis, sartorius, popliteus and gastrocnemius (for example, seated leg curl machine or a supine stability ball bridge with leg curl).  Many exercises performed in fitness centres that are thought to work gluteus maximus end up focusing on semitendiunosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris (long head), and adductor magnus (ischial fibers) as they assist in  hip extension.  Activation of gluteus maximus is greatest when the femur is moved into extension, but many common leg exercises thought to focus on movement from end range hip flexion of the movement and a return to hip neutral.  This movement of the exercise from end phase to start phase targets more of the secondary hip extension muscles compared to gluteus maximus - especially if the gluteus maximus is not functioning properly.   Clients will report that they feel a stretch in their gluteus but the stretch actually originates in the hamstring.  An example of an exercise that do this is squats.
