Quad exercises... This is a great exercise for training your quads and one of my favourites with footballers and sprint athletes. Sprinting and kicking will load the Rectus Femoris muscle eccentrically over 2 joints (hips and knee) therefore, it is important that the prehab/ rehab program compliments this. Reverse Nordic’s enable you to eccentrically load the Rectus Femoris over 2 joints and this is a go to exercise for me when rehabbing thigh strains. I progress this exercise by introducing resistance through weight plates or bands and increasing knee flexion by raising the ankles with a foam roller.

The gluteus maximus is a hip extensor and, thus, an antagonist of the #RectusFemoris for this action. If the foot is fixed on the mat, contracting the gluteus maximus tilts the #pelvis as shown (closed chain action). Tilting the pelvis back and down creates a pull on the rectus femoris, which is transmitted to the knee joint, leading to more efficient knee extension. In this manner, the gluteus maximus is an indirect synergist of knee extension. 💪 #stretch #anatomy #rehabilitation (at Marpole)

#Stretching the #RectusFemoris is best accomplished in poses that combine hip extension and knee flexion. Poses like Virasana (with the hips flexing) are good for stretching the other heads of the quadriceps, however, a reclining variation is necessary to lengthen the rectus femoris. 💪 #stretch #anatomy #rehabilitation (at Vancouver, British Columbia)

The #RectusFemoris combines with the rest of the quadriceps to extend the knee joint. It also acts as a synergist of hip flexion and has increased activity with abduction and external rotation of the hip joint. 💪 #anatomy #joint #rehabilitation #SuptaPadangustasana (at Downtown Vancouver)

"Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still." 🐕 ... Henry David Thoreau was talking about the hip flexors I'm sure of it. This region needs so much gnawing, and it's worth the time to unearth the potential range of motion. @carabros photography 📸 #adapt #biotensegrity #hipflexors #recfem #rectusfemoris #open #yoga #asana #restorative #yin #thought #nonthought #beingversusdoing #anatomy #yoganatomy #repose (at Meadowlark)

Did some work on an anatomy study of the thigh. The muscles in order of their appearance are #gracilis #adductormagnus #adductorbrevis #adductorlongus #pectineus #bicepsfemoris #rectusfemoris #vastuslateralis #vastusmedialis #vastusintermedius #sartorius #tfl and then the #illiotibialband and #gluteusmaximus together. #art #anatomy #study #drawing #sketch #tutorial #leg #thigh #femur #pelvis #illustration #human #muscles #muscle
