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).
Not exact matches
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).
Given the equal roles of the hip and knee extensors in this exercise, it is difficult to identify whether the effects of squat training achieves improvements in COD ability through
increases in quadriceps or hip extensor (adductor
magnus, gluteus maximus, and hamstrings) muscle size.
