The Inner Thigh also referred to as the adductor group consists of 5 muscles — pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, and gracilis.

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).

Traditionally, the adductor magnus has been divided into two regions, an adducting region and an extending region, described variously as posterior vs. middle (as here), pubofemoral vs. ischiocondylar, or (true) adductor vs. «hamstring» regions.

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).
