Quadriceps muscles called the Re**us Femoris. This is the only one of the 4 quad muscles that performs an action at both the hips and the knee. Due to this it is the most commonly injured quadriceps muscle, with a lot of injuries being seen in football players. This is due to it having to work over to joints and therefore being stretched at different angles of the hips and knee, making it more susceptible to overstretching.
It is therefore important to strengthen this muscle through all ranges at both the hip and the knee, whilst also including regular stretching into your routine to prevent overstretching and injury.
