Adductor Magnus is the largest groin muscle and is one of the two long adductor muscles (gracilis is the other).

The adductor magnus is most active between 0 — 45 degrees, the adductor longus and gracilis are most active at 45 degrees, and the pectineus is most active at 90 degrees.

For example, it has been noted that both the adductor longus and adductor brevis contain large intra-muscular tendons, that the adductor brevis and gracilis are fused together at the proximal end, that the proximal adductor longus is attached to the pubic symphysis and also connects with the rectus abdominis muscle (Davis et al. 2012).

The adductor longus is widely known as the adductor that is commonly strained (see reviews by Renström and Peterson, 1980; Nicholas and Tyler, 2002; Davis et al. 2012) although there are case reports of strains to the adductor brevis (Attarian, 1999) and the gracilis (Pedret et al. 2011).
