Understanding the Glute MusclesWhat do each of the different Gluteal muscles do in running gait?
Posted by Kinetic Revolution on Friday, 22 May 2015
It’s a message we as runners hear consistently: Do your glute exercises!
I certainly seems to be the consensus within the the Sports Medicine community that the function of your gluteal muscles, and hip strength / stability in general, is a big factor in protecting our when we run knees. In fact the consequences of having poorly functioning glutes can be wide-reaching across the body.
While we often talk about ‘the glutes’ in general, I am however often surprised how infrequently we discuss the differences between the different muscles that comprise the glute complex.
In the video above, I take a few minutes to explain the differences between Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus; their individual anatomy, functions and role in running gait.
