In search of the so-called " butt in the back of the neck", many women are doing numerous exercises to leave the musculature of the gluteus ever stronger and mottled. But in addition to aesthetics, working out the glutes brings numerous benefits.
This muscle group is divided into 3 muscles, being: maximum, medium and minimum gluteus and as main function are responsible for the movement of thigh extension, abduction (opening) and lateral rotation of the thigh.

1. Improves the practice of sports
Knowing about these functions of this muscle group, we can say that working this muscle can help in the performance of sports like racing, since it has a great importance in the driving mechanism of the march and the race.
2. Treats injuries to the hip and knee
We can also highlight the association of this musculature as an alternative for the treatment of hip and knee disorders.
For the treatment of some pathologies such as anterior knee pain, tendinopathies and hip bursitis, training of the buttock muscles is part of the rehabilitation process, as well as the movements of going up and down stairs, favored with this well-functioning muscle.
3. Prevents injuries
The gluteal musculature has a stabilizing function of the pelvis and hip and this helps in transmitting strength and control to the lower limbs. Based on this, there are studies that point to this relationship with the prevention of knee and hip injury and also in some sports and specific injuries, such as hip tendinitis and knee ligament injuries.
And the posture?
A "butt on the back of the neck" can not be considered responsible for good posture. Unfortunately, we do not yet have enough studies to prove the true role of the gluteal musculature in maintaining trunk posture; although there is a biomechanical relation with the movement of flexing the body, that is, to bend the trunk forward, as well as in the maintenance of the standing posture.

Therefore, in the therapeutic point of view, the strengthening of the gluteal musculature associated with other necessary interventions (evidenced through an evaluation with a professional), favor and improve the athlete's performance in some sports, as well as to prevent and assist in the treatment of knee injuries and the hip.
The big problem is many people are still remiss with regard to exercises that can be performed for that purpose. Like other muscles, the gluteus must be worked by always seeking the balance of the body, in the case of the lower limbs.
