Not exact matches
It is suggested that this works due to the ability of the exercise to increase the peak eccentric force of the hamstrings
at shallower angles of knee
flexion (the knee is more extended) vs. a leg curl which puts a premium on concentric force when the knee is in
full flexion.
These ligaments are most effective
at full extension (when you are standing straight) and
full flexion (when the calves touch your thighs as in the ATG position of a high bar squat).
This may imply that hip extension movements operating
at large degrees of hip
flexion are more likely to require greater hamstring and adductor magnus involvement and less gluteus maximus involvement, while hip extension movements operating close to
full hip extension are more likely to require greater gluteus maximus involvement.

full hip extension are more likely to require greater gluteus maximus involvement and less adductor magnus involvement.
The moment arm length of the adductor magnus increases as hip
flexion increases from
full hip extension to 90 degrees of hip
flexion, being largest in
at least 90 degrees of hip
flexion (partial squat).
Ackland et al. (2008) showed that the inferior sternocostal fibers produce large moment arms throughout
full shoulder
flexion range of motion that is highest around the mid-range but remains high
at 120 degrees (arms above head).
