- The study evaluated hip adductor muscle forces across 8 exercises using an EMG-assisted neuromusculoskeletal model on 15 participants.
- Copenhagen long-lever exercise was Tier 1 for all adductor muscles (brevis, longus, magnus, gracilis).
- Copenhagen short-lever was Tier 1 for adductor brevis and longus.
- Deadlift and sumo deadlift were Tier 1 for adductor magnus ischiocondylar and gracilis.
- Step up and squat were Tier 1 for adductor magnus ischiocondylar.
- Lateral slide was Tier 2 for all muscles.
- Lying leg lift was Tier 2 for adductor brevis and longus, and Tier 3 for adductor magnus and gracilis.
- Squat was Tier 2 for adductor longus, adductor magnus pubofemoral, and gracilis.
- Step up was Tier 2 for gracilis and Tier 3 for adductor brevis, longus, and magnus pubofemoral.
- The findings can guide exercise selection and load progression for athletic performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.
