What is the fixator and synergist muscles when kicking a football?

When kicking a football, the fixator muscles are located in the hips, pelvis, and ankles, and they work to stabilize the body during the kick and provide support for the leg muscles. The synergist muscles are located in the legs and feet and work together to move the leg and foot in a coordinated way to produce a powerful and accurate kick.

Here are some of the specific fixator and synergist muscles involved in kicking a football:

Fixator Muscles

Hips:

Gluteus maximus

Gluteus medius

Gluteus minimus

Pirifformis

Tensor fasciae latae

Pelvis:

Rectus abdominis

External obliques

Internal obliques

Transverse abdominis

Multifidus

Ankles:

Gastrocnemius

Soleus

Peroneus longus

Peroneus brevis

Synergist Muscles

Thighs:

Quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius)

Hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus)

Calves:

Gastrocnemius

Soleus

Feet:

Tibialis anterior

Peroneus longus

Peroneus brevis

Flexor hallucis longus

Extensor hallucis longus

These muscles work together to provide stability, power, and coordination during the kicking motion. Proper strength and flexibility in these muscles are essential for accurate and powerful kicks.
