Kea et al. (2001) measured distance covered in the one - leg sideways hop (with a tape) as well as concentric and eccentric isokinetic hip abduction moments (with a dynamometer).

Hip osteoarthritis has been associated with reduced hip abduction strength, which is indicative of gluteus medius weakness (Arokoski et al. 2002; Rasch et al. 2007; Suetta et al. 2007) as well as with compensatory increased gluteus medius muscle activity (Sims et al. 2002; Dwyer et al. 2013).

However, what happens when the glutes perform any of their other functions, such as hip abduction or hip external rotation?

Hip extension joint angular velocity was associated with the LCI, but hip abduction joint angular velocity was not.

Similarly, Ishøi et al. (2015) found that a similar 8 - week period of training using the Copenhagen adduction exercise was effective for increasing eccentric hip adduction strength, eccentric hip abduction strength, and the eccentric hip adduction to abduction strength ratio.

My point here is that ultimate glute development requires a strong emphasis on hip abduction and hip external rotation.

During any squat variation, the hip gets into a certain level of abduction, which is crucial because hip abduction increases the range of motion of the hips and contributes to a more efficient hip extension.

A good rule of thumb is to always make sure that the foot is parallel to the femur — this usually means that for narrower stances, the feet will be turned out just slightly because there's less hip abduction, and during wide stance squats, the angle could be 45 degrees.

The hip muscles control the mechanics of your knee, so if you have insufficient hip abduction and external rotation strength, your knee is at a higher risk of injury from patellofemoral pain syndrome and iliotibial (IT) band syndrome.

Seated Hip Machines Seated Inner Thigh Machine (Hip Adduction Machine) Seated Outer Thigh Machine (Hip Abduction Machine)

Hip Abduction Drills will strengthen the medial glutes and hip abductors (outward hip movement) which will help stabilize the entire body and help prevent knee injuries.

Standing knee raises and standing hip abduction exercises (10 repetitions of each, three to four times each day) are a great way to increase range of motion and flexibility.

They do hip abduction.

To make this exercise more difficult, you can do the dumbbell lying hip abduction variation which will make it harder.

Another great hip exercise for men and women is cable hip abductions.

Hip extension, knee extension, and ankle plantar - flexion net joint moments increased markedly as side - step distance increased, while hip abduction net joint moments did not alter much at all.

However, when comparing individuals with and without low back pain, it has been noted that there is hip abduction weakness in those with pre-existing low back pain compared to healthy controls and that this is accompanied by greater gluteus medius co-activation during single leg stance.

In addition, it has been found that side bridge endurance but not hip abduction strength was lower in the groups who developed low back pain compared with the groups that did not (Marshall et al. 2011).

Doing certain dynamic stretches such as leg swings and high - knee - hip - rolls (or high - knee hip abduction) will do wonders for allowing you to get the most of our workout without putting extra stress on your body and thus helping to prevent injury.

Similarly, Fujisawa et al. (2014) found that hip flexion angle did not affect gluteus medius muscle activity when the knee was in full extension during isometric hip abduction.

For the gluteus medius, Dostal et al. (1986) reported that the posterior, middle and anterior fibers all have very large hip abduction moment arms but quite small hip extension moment arms.

Fortunately, resistance training has been found to improve hip abduction strength in hip replacement patients (Husby et al. 2009) and has also been found to improve outcomes (Suetta et al. 2004).

This action is called hip abduction — this means moving the thigh away from the midline (centerline) of the body.

In addition to hip extension, the gluteus maximus also assists other muscles in the region to produce hip external rotation, and the upper fibers can produce hip abduction against resistance.

Gluteus maximus EMG amplitude is higher when muscle fibers are shorter (in full hip extension compared to flexion, in hip abduction compared to neutral, in hip external rotation compared to neutral, and in posterior pelvic tilt compared to anterior pelvic tilt).

Push knees out with elbows to help get more hip abduction and make sure chest is UP or «tall.»

Gluteus maximus activation is ↑ when closer to full hip extension, full hip abduction, and full external rotation.

Recently, Youdas et al. (2014) compared standing hip extension, hip flexion, hip adduction and hip abduction exercises across standing and moving limbs.

Optimal exercises will therefore primarily involve hip abduction but internal and external hip rotation might be useful to target front and back regions.

For example, Yoo (2014) specifically discussed using exercises to target separate regions within the gluteus medius and it is thought that Fredericson et al. (2000) also employed a protocol involving the side - lying hip abduction with external rotation in order to preferentially recruit the posterior segment of the gluteus medius.

Nevertheless, these findings are difficult to reconcile with other findings indicating that increased hip abduction angle or moment involves increased gluteus maximus EMG amplitude (Kang et al. 2013; Suehiro et al. 2014; Choi et al. 2014).
