Adductor Development Often under trained The main action of the adductors as a muscle group is to bring the leg closer to midline. The adductor magnus also performs knee flexion, similarly to the hamstring muscle group making it an important knee and hip stabilizer. In closed chain activation, the hip adductors help stabilize the pelvis and lower extremity during the stance phase of gait, and assist in postural control. They also have secondary roles including hip flexion and rotation. Here are 6 variations using something other than your typical adductor machines to improve adductor strength. I like to use resistance bands because they not only aid in strengthening but can be progressed and challenge stability as well. Don’t sleep on those adductors! #adductors #adductorstrength #groinpain #groin #legstrength #singlelegtraining
