Exercise Science Expert Quoted
Alex Rothstein, coordinator and instructor for the Exercise Science program, is quoted in a article about pilates exercises to strengthen glute muscles. Rothstein explains that the glutes are comprised of three muscles, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus, and “have a central role in controlling movements of the lower extremity, as well as movements of the trunk.� He adds, “Any dysfunction or weakness in this muscle group can cause issues with other areas of the body that are called upon to compensate,� noting that this can occur in the hamstrings, which are often recruited to compensate for weak glutes.
