What muscles are used while jogging?

Jogging uses basically every muscle in the body at some level or another. However, several muscles are stresses much higher than others. The core muscles are one of the highest level working muscles during jogging. They must support the movement of the rest of the body. Your abdominals, obliques, and transvers abdominus make up the band of muscles surrounding the abdominal cavity. They contract at different times to stabilize the lumbar spine when different movement is produced in the limbs. The low back, mainly the erector spinae and quadratus, is another area of the core that has high recruitment levels. It conteracts a lot of the recruitment of the abdominals and helps to stabilize the lumbar spine. the hip flexor group flexes the hip and drives the knee forward. The quadriceps, hamstrings and adductors are the main muscles that the stabilize the knee, especially on ground contact. The glute muscle group (and hamstrings), extend the hip and is the main producer of power during the push off portion of jogging. The lower leg muscles tibialis anterior, peroneals andgastrocnemius (calf) support the foot and affect the movement of the foot. Finally, the muscle groups of the shoulder girdle such as the serratus, rotator cuff, pectorals, lats, rhomboids assist in arm action and upper back posture.
