csípnyújtás

Csípnyújtás refers to a stretching exercise that targets the hip flexors. The hip flexors are a group of muscles located at the front of the hip that help to lift the leg towards the body. Tightness in these muscles can contribute to various issues, including lower back pain, poor posture, and reduced athletic performance.

The exercise is typically performed by kneeling on one knee with the other leg forward, foot flat on the ground. The body is then pushed forward, maintaining an upright posture, until a stretch is felt in the front of the hip of the kneeling leg. It is important to keep the pelvis tucked slightly under to avoid arching the lower back.

Variations of the csípnyújtás exist, including standing versions and those using props for support. The duration and intensity of the stretch can be adjusted based on individual flexibility and goals. Regular practice of hip flexor stretches like csípnyújtás can improve mobility, alleviate muscle soreness, and contribute to overall physical well-being. It is often incorporated into warm-up routines, cool-down periods, or as a standalone flexibility exercise. Consulting with a fitness professional or physical therapist can help ensure proper technique and application for individual needs.
