However, increases in muscle fascicle length are also likely dependent on the mechanical load incurred by the prime mover, as knee flexion (hamstring only) exercise seems to lead to greater adaptations in the hamstrings than hip extension (hamstring, gluteus maximus, and adductor magnus) exercise, even when muscle length at peak contraction is shorter (Bourne et al. 2016).

Hip flexions, lateral leg raises, and repetitions of other exercises were done while standing upright behind the chair, holding the back of the chair for stability.

In general, it seems that exercises from the knee flexion category (i.e. leg curls) almost always feature as one of the best exercises, while exercises from the hip extension and knee extension category (i.e. squats) never feature as one of the best exercises.

Studies have found that hip adduction exercises are superior to quadriceps squeezes for activating the adductors and that isometric adductor squeezes in 45 degrees of hip flexion are superior to those in 0 or 90 degrees of hip flexion (Zakaria et al. 1997; Delahunt et al. 2011).

Comparing hamstring strain injury prevention and rehabilitation exercises, Orishimo & McHugh (2015) found that the supine sliding leg curl (Slider) produced greater gluteus maximus EMG amplitude during the eccentric phase than the standing elastic - band resisted hip extension, the standing trunk flexion (Glider) or the standing split (Diver).

Anteroposterior exercises involve greater forces closer to full hip extension, while axial exercises tend to produce greater forces in high degrees of hip flexion (Zweifel, 2017).
