Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation at the hip, and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.
Do all quadriceps muscles act in hip flexion and knee extension?

What types of exercises are plantar flexion hip flexion hip extension knee flexion and side leg raises?
balance
What is the names of the hip flexors?
hip flexor
Concentric contraction of the hamstrings causes which joint action?
knee flexion and hip extension.Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.

Vertebral Foraminal Entrapment on Hip Flexion and Knee Extension
What is the function for the Gastonemius muscles?
plantar flexion and knee flexion
What muscles are used when doing a vertical jump?
At the ankle joint: calf - platarflexion. Anterior tibialis is inovolved in countermovement dorsiflexion. At the knee joint: quadriceps - knee extension Hamstrings are involved in the knee flextion counter movement. At the hip: hamstrings, glutes, spinal errectors - hip flexion. Hip flexors, and abdominals are involved in the initial countrer movement and the "breaking" of the hip flexion. Additional upward thrust is also provided by the shoulders during arm thrust. Hip flexors, and abdominals are involved in the initial countrer movement and the "breaking" of the hip flexion. Big toe is mostly involved in the "toe off" movement. These are the main muscles involved in movement and coutnermovements.
Exercises that trigger your butt muscle?
hip flexion and hip extention
How many muscles make up the hamstring?
There are three main muscles of the posterior compartment of the thigh. They are the biceps Femoris , the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus. Together, they cause flexion of the knee and extension of the hip
What are the major muscles of the muscular system?
Femour muscle,calf mucle,=====================================================The major muscles of the body would be:A) Anterior Upper Body:Pectoralis Major (involved with shoulder horizontal adduction and internal rotation)Deltoid Anterior, Middle and Posterior Fibers (shoulder flexion, abduction , horizontal abduction respectively)Rectus Abdominal (abs) (Flexion of the trunk)Oblique Muscles (lateral rotation of the trunk and pelvis)B) Posterior Upper Body:Latismuss Dorsi (shoulder extension and external rotation)Trapezius (Upper fibers raises the scapula upwards also involves with movement of the neck, while middle and lower fibers retract it)C) Arms:Biceps brachii (forearm flexion and supination, aids in shoulder flexion thru long head)Triceps brachii (elbow extension)Wrist Flexors and extensorsD) Pelvis and Hips:Glutues Maximus ( Hip Extension)Iliopsoas (Hip Flexion)Tensor Fascia lata , Glutues Medius and Minus (Hip Abduction, Stabilize body during walking)Hip AdductorsRectus femoris and Quadriceps (Knee Extension, Rectus Femoris aids in Hip Flexion)Hamstrings (Knee Flexion, Biceps Femoris aids in Hip Extension)Calf Muscles (mainly Gastrocnemius involved in ankle planter flexion)although there are many other skeletal muscles with major functions (e.g Rotator cuff: stabilize shoulder joint , and Anconeus which stabilize elbow joint.. and many more) these ones above are considered the major muscles of the body by many
