There are many possible reasons for hamstring injury, such
as muscular overload, tightness and inflexibility, quad / hamstring strength imbalances and
gluteal dysfunction, and most of them can be prevented by performing dynamic stretches before each leg training session and statically stretching the targeted
muscles at the end of the workout.
Athletic bodies are not always skinny - swimmers require a level of body fat to improve their buoyancy, and downhill skiers require bulky quadriceps, hamstrings and
gluteal muscles to counteract the forces operating on them
as they descend at high speeds.

as tall
as possible; lengthen the neck and the spine upward; squeeze the heels, and grip the

Though the abdominal
muscles and oblique
muscles are part of the core, the spinal erectors, rhomdodis, trapexius, and
gluteal connect to the axial spine make up a part of your core
as well.
This exercise specifically works the posterior
muscles such
as the Latissimus dorsi and
gluteals to help align the body correctly.
Also known
as gluteal amnesia, it happens when your gluteus medius — one of your three butt
muscles — stops working properly.
A chiropractor can help to increase the mobility of the joint using mobilisation techniques and adjustments,
as well
as loosening the
gluteal and lower back
muscles.
Cow Face Pose is a surprisingly deep hip opener that stretches the piriformis and
gluteal muscles,
as well
as the outer legs and IT band.
Similarly to the band planche exercise,
as this method assists from the hips, you are still required to use your back and
gluteal muscles to keep your hips extended.
As the band does not hold your feet with this method, you will be working your back and
gluteal muscles to keep your hips extended.
As you did in the previous two poses, engage your gluteal and hamstring muscles to prevent the back thighbone from moving forward as you move your tailbone down and forwar

Further
gluteal development occurred
as humans gained coordination and learned to use the glutes when sprinting, throwing, and swinging things, and now our gluteus maximus
muscles are the best developed of all of the primates.
The gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus, collectively referred to
as the glutes, make up the major
muscles of the
gluteal region (buttocks).
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.
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.»
