13 multiple choice 1 point what are your gluteal muscles doing as you progress through the terminal swing phase and are getting ready for initial contact? stabilizing the hip in extension (isometrically) moving the hip into flexion (concentrically) but remaining extended stabilizing the hip in flexion (isometrically) moving the hip into extension (concentrically) but remaining flexed clear my selection
During the terminal swing phase, the goal is to prepare the hip for initial contact. Hip extension is the desired position for initial contact. Isometric contractions stabilize a joint without changing its length. The gluteal muscles (like the gluteus maximus) help in hip extension. So, stabilizing the hip in extension (isometrically) makes sense as it maintains the position needed for initial contact.
