Similarly, studies in normal healthy males using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans have reported
very high values for the adductor
magnus of around 599.2 ± 79.4 cm ³ and much smaller values for the adductor longus (182.5 ± 18.0 cm ³) and the other adductors (from 72.0 ± 9.1 to 111.3 ± 16.6 cm ³)(Miokovic et al. 2012).
The adductor
magnus is a
very large muscle, with cadaver studies indicating that its cross-sectional area in elderly people spans from 11.65 — 26.9 cm ² (Pohtilla et al. 1969; Ito et al. 2003).
Very few studies have reported on the muscle fiber type of the adductors, although the adductor
magnus has been explored more often than most of the more minor muscles.
The adductor
magnus is
very much larger than most of the other muscles, at around 20 — 27 cm ² (Friederich & Brand, 1990; Horsmann et al. 2007; Ward et al. 2009).
Although Pressel and Lengsfeld (1998), Arnold et al. (2000), and Arnold and Delp (2001) did not provide actual numbers for their studies, they all found that the adductor
magnus displayed a
very small transverse plane moment arm that is probably not meaningful.
Although
very few studies have explored muscles using functional MRI, one study has investigated the differences between the leg curl and lunge within the adductor
magnus, and between regions within the adductor
magnus (Mendiguchia et al. 2013).
