Muscle Action in the Squat

[Guest guest]

Jerry Telle:

<And finally has anyone measured/estimated the contribution of the

gluteus maximus deep fibers (not ITB band fibers) in hip extension--all the

anatomy books I have skirted the issue.>

Flanagan:

**Jerre, do you mean inferior fibers? I didn't think the glute max was

divided into deep and superficial fibers.

Flanagan >>

Hi ,

One book I have " Anatomy of Movement " by Calais-Germain. Eastland Press 1993

pg 228 uses " deep " and " superficial " though I like and imagine yours is the

more accurate. Another, " Illustrated Essentials of Muscoloskeletal Anatomy " ,

Sieg and , pg 86 doesnt use any terminology !! Little wonder there's

confusion.

Oh, and yes

cheers,
