Are All Hip Extension Exercises Created Equal?

چکیده
TARGETED HIP EXTENSION EXERCISES ARE OFTEN PERFORMED TO DEVELOP STRENGTH, POWER, AND ENDURANCE IN THE HIP EXTENSORS. ALTHOUGH THESE EXERCISES CAN POSSESS SIMILAR MOVEMENT PATTERNS, BIOMECHANICALLY THE INSTANTANEOUS TORQUE AT DIFFERENT RANGES OF HIP EXTENSION VARIES DEPENDING ON BODY POSITION RELATIVE TO SPACE. FOR THESE REASONS, IT IS PROPOSED THAT: (A) HIP EXTENSION EXERCISES MIGHT TRANSFER BETTER TO SPORT ACTIONS WHERE THE REGION OF FORCE ACCENTUATION IS MOST SPECIFIC; (B) HIP EXTENSION EXERCISES MAY LEAD TO UNIQUE STRUCTURAL ADAPTATIONS; AND (C) A VARIETY OF EXERCISES MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO MAXIMIZE HIP EXTENSION STRENGTH AND POWER THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RANGE OF MOTION.

Effect of position and alteration in synergist muscle force contribution on hip forces when performing hip strengthening exercises.
BACKGROUND Understanding the magnitude and direction of joint forces generated by hip strengthening exercises is essential for appropriate prescription and modification of these exercises. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hip joint forces created across a range of hip flexion and extension angles during two hip strengthening exercises: prone hip extension and supine hip flexion. METH...
متن کاملThe Effects of Active Therapeutic Exercises on the Electromyographic Activity of Lumbopelvic Muscles during Prone Hip Extension in Patients with Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain
Introduction: LBP is one of the most common health issues throughout the world and has multiple causes which one of them is the defect in motor patterns. This study compared the effectiveness of stability, general and mixed exercises on the electromyographic activity of ipsilateral erector spinae muscle (IES), contralateral erector spinae muscle (CES), gluteus maximus (GM) and medial hams...
متن کاملCombining isometric knee extension exercises with hip adduction or abduction does not increase quadriceps EMG activity.
OBJECTIVE To determine if the combined isometric contractions of knee extension/hip adduction and knee extension/hip abduction will elicit a different quadriceps and gluteus medius electromyographic (EMG) pattern as compared to isometric contraction of a uniplanar knee extension exercise. METHODS Eight healthy young adult volunteers without history of knee or quadriceps injury participated. S...

BACKGROUND Prone, supine, and side position exercises are employed to enhance core stability. HYPOTHESIS Overall core muscle activity would be greater in prone position exercises compared with supine and side position exercises. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Eighteen men and women between 23 and 45 years of age served as subjects. Surface electrodes were positioned ove...
متن کاملThe effects of therapeutic hip exercise with abdominal core activation on recruitment of the hip muscles
BACKGROUND Core stabilization has been utilized for rehabilitation and prevention of lower limb musculoskeletal injuries. Previous studies showed that activation of the abdominal core muscles enhanced the hip muscle activity in hip extension and abduction exercises. However, the lack of the direct measurement and quantification of the activation level of the abdominal core muscles during the ex...
