The squat, for instance, is the most notable and probably the best of all glute exercises; it involves flexion and extension at the ankle, knee, and hip joints
as well
as recruitment of the
gluteal (gluteus maximus), quadriceps, and hamstring muscle groups.
While sitting also causes substantial compression of the gluteus maximus (Al - Dirini et al. 2015), it is still unclear whether extended periods of sitting similarly cause any
gluteal atrophy, particularly
as there is inter-individual variability in respect of which parts of the gluteus maximus or surrounding subcutaneous fat deposits are used for sitting upon (Sonenblum et al. 2015).
Moderate exercise that strengthens the
gluteal muscles, such
as running and swimming, is probably a good idea.
The joints continue to develop normally
as long
as full congruity is maintained between the acetabulum and the femoral head... The acetabular rims are stimulated to grow by mild traction applied by the joint capsule and
gluteal muscles attached along their dorsal borders, and from pressure by the femoral heads upon the articular surfaces... The morphologic characteristics of the complex hip structure show that biomechanical behavior is the prime influence in the growth of this joint.»
