- Comb muscle (M. pectineus)
- Long thigh tightener (M. adductor longus)
- Big Thigh Beater (M. adductor magnus)
- Slim muscle (M. gracilis)
Approach, origin, innervation
Approach: Bony reinforcement strip on the back of the thigh bone (Linea aspera)
Origin: Lower pubic branch (Ramus inferior ossis pubis)
Innervation: N. obturator
How is the muscle trained / contracted?

- Adductor machine
For more information, see Weight Training
How is this muscle stretched?
The following stretches apply to these muscles:
- Comb muscle (M. pectineus)
- Long thigh tightener (M. adductor longus)
- Short thigh tightener (M. adductor brevis)
- Big Thigh Beater (M. adductor magnus)
- Slim muscle (M. gracilis)
There are two ways to stretch the inside of the thigh. The athlete stands about twice as wide as his shoulders, with the toes pointing forward. The body weight is shifted to one side, so that the thigh on the side to be stretched is almost stretched. The upper body should be kept upright.
The second variant is done while sitting. The soles of the feet touch while the knees are pushed toward the floor.
