Just Keep It Walking

Walking Lunge

Ever wonder if performing a walking lunge had a greater effect on your quads or hamstring, look no further. A Swedish study in which researchers had competitive soccer players complete 4 sets of 12 reps of walking lunges twice per week for six weeks. At the end of the study, the researchers found a 35% increase in hamstring strength, but no significant increase in quad strength. in terms of kinesiology this makes perfect sense. When you step forward, there is greater emphasis on the back leg due to the increase in weight and center of gravity in relation to your front leg.
