Innerlåret

Innerlåret refers to the adductor muscles located on the inner side of the thigh. These muscles play a crucial role in hip adduction, which is the movement of bringing the legs together. The primary muscles within the inner thigh group include the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus.

These muscles originate from the pelvic bone and insert onto the femur (thigh bone). Their combined action stabilizes the pelvis and allows for controlled leg movements, particularly during walking, running, and cycling. They are also involved in stabilizing the thigh during single-leg stances and movements.

Injuries to the inner thigh muscles, commonly known as groin pulls, are frequent in sports that involve sudden changes in direction or explosive movements. These injuries can range from mild strains to complete tears, often resulting in pain, swelling, and difficulty with adduction. Rehabilitation typically involves rest, stretching, and strengthening exercises.

The inner thigh muscles are an important component of overall leg strength and function. They are targeted in various exercises, including adductor machine work, leg presses, and lunges, aiming to improve strength, flexibility, and endurance. A balanced training program that addresses all major muscle groups, including the inner thighs, contributes to athletic performance and injury prevention.
