Benefits of exercise

A lunge towards level 2 on FISIO functional loops.

This exercise is aimed at a high-quality study of the gluteal muscles. The target muscles are the large, medium and small gluteal muscles, as well as the adductor muscles of the thigh. The quadriceps muscle of the thigh extends the knees. The gluteus maximus muscle extends the hip joint with the help of the muscles of the posterior surface of the thigh. The calf muscle translates the ankle joint into plantar flexion. The adductor muscles drive the working leg, and the body muscles stabilize the torso.

During the exercise, the stability and mobility of the hip, knee and ankle joints increases.
