Hip abduction strength equipment

Hip abduction

— exercise to abduct the hip to the side or back under load. The specific way of execution depends on the type of machine. So, in glut machines, which were created for such an exercise, the thigh is retracted back (for more details, see "Product type"); the load goes mainly to the buttocks, most of these machines are designed to work out this muscle group in isolation (although there are models that allow you to noticeably load the calf and posterior femoral muscles as well). In multi hips machines, lateral hip abduction is often provided with a straight leg; it has a similar purpose, and by changing the position of the legs, you can change the specific areas of the gluteal muscles, which account for the greatest load. Among the all-in-one machines, you can find models with devices that allow you to train both legs in this way at once — two stops that are bred to the sides due to the movement of the hips.
