Biomechanical Study of Jumping & Landing Techniques: Ballet vs Non-ballet Athletes
… sports type and leg type for vastus medialis and gluteus maximus were produced. Observed results also indicated that there was an increase in overall variability for the dominant leg of the non-ballet athletes amongst all studied muscles and for the non-dominant leg for the ballet group …

Do the gluteal muscles influence dynamic knee valgus when single-leg landing?
… ligament ACL injury. Gluteal muscles especially gluteus maximus and medius are believed to have a role in controlling hip motion that is associated with dynamic knee valgus. Landing onto one leg is a common scenario of ACL injury mechanism and would appear to require considerable Gluteal muscle …

Lower limb muscle function during cycling.
… with the collection of LE EMG activity of the gluteus maximus, semitendinosus, semimembranosus, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, soleus, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles during stationary cycling at 160 W (90 r/min). The results showed that extension during the propulsive phase of …

Effects of Stretching on Jumping Performance
… included a static stretching routine of the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, quadriceps, and triceps surae. This stretching protocol lasted 7 minutes. The non-stretching group did not stretch, they performed two jump tests; the pre-stretching group stretched first and then performed the two jump …

Cortical Mechanisms of Human Pelvic Floor Muscle Synergies
… well as activation patterns of the pelvic floor, gluteus maximus, and first dorsal interosseous muscles. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure blood oxygenation density levels (BOLD) in the brain while subjects performed various prime mover tasks. Our second original …

INCREASE IN 1RM BACK SQUAT AFTER ABDOMINAL STABILIZING MANEUVERS
… of the rectus femoris, biceps femoris, gluteus maximus, rectus abdominis, external oblique and erector spinae were analyzed in well trained individuals (n=13). A 1RM back squat protocol was performed under three conditions: control session, AB and AH. A significant difference was found …

Evaluation of Tissue Health and Interventions for the Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury
… to better understand individual differences.The gluteus maximus muscle of persons with SCI in the current study have increased intramuscular fat and decreased lean muscle which make the soft tissue around bony prominences prone to higher stress and strains. Furthermore, atrophy is more pronounced …

A Comparison of Neuromuscular Control between Subjects with and without Chronic Ankle Instability
… (COP), and integrated EMG activation of the gluteus medius (Gmed), gluteus maximus (Gmax), tibialis anterior (TA), and peroneus longus (PL) during each reach direction of the SEBT. Results: There was a significant difference in mean outcome measures between the three study groups. When …

Comparison in muscle activity between the back squat, Romanian deadlift and barbell hip thrust during hip extension
… biceps femoris (BF), semitendinosus (ST) and gluteus maximus (GM) during a submaximal repetition of each exercise at 60 kg and a 1-repetition maximum (1RM). EMG during the exercises was compared to the EMG of each muscle during a maximum voluntary contraction (MVIC), performed on an isokinetic …

The effects of the lumbopelvic manipulation on the fatigability of the back and hip muscles in adults with chronic low back pain
… level of the lumbar multifidus (MULT), gluteus maximus (GMAX) and gluteus medius (GMED) muscles in addition to the pain level as compared to a placebo intervention in patients with CLBP. Thirty-one participants with CLBP, 30.2 ±10.1 years of age, completed the immediate effect part of …

Needle Length Required for Intramuscular Injection in Women
… intramuscular injection sites: (1) deltoid, (2) gluteus maximus, (3) gluteus medius, and (4) lateral femoral. Pearson product-moment correlations and regression lines were computed for each of the variables. Data from the study were compared with two body measurement studies of 22,000 and 10,042 …

The effect of alterations in effective seat tube angle on cycling performance, economy and muscle recruitment
… in integrated EMG values was observed for gluteus maximus, biceps femoris and rectus femoris from forward to rearward position. Both vastus lateralis and vastus medialis decreased activation in forward and rearward positions as compared to preferred position. However, none of these changes …

Effect of workload, upper body posture, and saddle set-back on full body angular joint kinematics, muscle activity, and lower limb haemodynamics
… in all lower limb muscle activity except the gluteus maximus, as well as considerable reductions in tissue oxygenation status, and resulted in cyclists pedalling with greater peak torque values. Moving the saddle forwards significantly affected joint kinematics, muscle activity, tissue …

Trail runners: Neuromuscular and biomechanical insights
… condition, trail runners exhibited greater gluteus maximus, biceps femoris and peroneus longus muscle activation during terminal swing in comparison to road runners. In addition, trail runners exhibited greater tibialis anterior activation during early swing. With regards to discrete …

THE INFLUENCE OF THE BACK FUNCTIONAL LINE ON LOWER EXTREMITY FRONTAL PLANE KINEMATICS AND KINEMATIC PREDICTORS OF LOADING DURING RUNNING
… (BFL), via measure of latissimus dorsi (LD), gluteus maximus (GM), and vastus lateralis (VL) muscle activity, during running and to determine their influence on lower extremity kinematics and kinematic predictors of loading that are linked to running-related injuries (RRI). We used conditions …

Neuromuscular Fatigue and Biomechanical Alterations during High-Intensity, Constant-Load Cycling
… an increase in peak vastus medialis (38.9%) and gluteus maximus electromyogram (87.2%) amplitudes at T100, rather than central fatigue, occurred towards the end of the exercise task (p < 0.05). Thus, neuromuscular fatigue development was associated with an increase in the magnitude of lower limb …
