Hip extension

The extension of the hip can be done with one or both legs. This extension movement trains the iliopsoas muscle and, depending on the position of the knee, accentuates the back muscles.
The movement can be performed bilaterally or unilaterally.
In a bilateral version (both legs move in the extension of the hip), a pronounced muscular tension of the back develops until the thoraco-lumbar transition (transition from the thorax to the lumbar spine).
