38
Q

while performing a vertical jump, force is applied into th3e ground by a triple extension of the lower body, what type of contraction are the hamstrings doing?

A

eccentric

39
Q

which bone does the gluteus medius muscle originate from?

A

Ilium

40
Q

bones of the pelvis include the ilium, ischium, pubis, sacrum, and coccyx. Which bone is an attachment site for the piriformis muscle?

A

sacrum

41
Q

muscle group originating on pubic bones of your pelvis, and running from your groin along the medial thigh are called your adductors. Which adductor muscle has the most proximal insertion onto the femur?

A

adductor brevis

42
Q

with an insertion onto the proximal femur, which muscle acts to perform hip flexion and lumbar flexion?

A

PSOAS Major

the gluteus medius muscle attaches to the greater trochanter on the lateral side of the femur, therefore this muscle as a whole must perform what joint action of the hip?

A

abduction

the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus muscles all perform extension of the hip. What bony structure do these muscles originate from?

A

ischial tuberosity

47
Q

A

IT Band

48
Q

along with the adductor muscles, what muscle originates on the pubis ramus and inserts on the medial tibial condyle or pes anserine?

A

gracillis

49

A

gluteus maximus

50
Q

which muscle of your hip flexor muscle group actually attaches to your lumbar spine?

A
