Question

During a flexed knee hanging leg raise, which hip flexors will have decreased contributions to the movement? A. sartorius B. gracilis C. rectus femoris D. biceps femoris (long head)

Answer 1

A. and B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The flexed knee hanging leg raise is an exercise that targets the rectus abdominis (front abs), hip flexors, as some obliques if the individual movers their knees from side to side. During this exercise the hip flexors that have the least contribution to the movement are Gracilis and Sartorius. Both of these muscles can be seen in the attached picture below.
