The anterior thigh muscles are formed by the tensor fascia lata, the sartorius and quadriceps femoris. These, together with the buttock, are essential for maintaining an upright position. Keeping these muscles supple and toned has countless benefits. The proposed exercises will allow you to stretch the anterior thigh muscles; in addition, stretching prevents injuries and reduces muscle trauma. Before performing exercises it is good to perform a few minutes of warm-up, which can be global (with movements useful to raise body temperature) or joint (with the execution of rotational movements). While stretching, it would be desirable to keep the diaphragm and "abdomen relax, breathing quietly. To do this, it is advisable to inhale the air from the nose (to have the right humidity) and exhale again from the nose, or better, from the mouth. During the stretching phase (which must last about 5-10 seconds), you exhale, when you reach the maximum stretch point you breathe in and continue to breathe quietly, remaining at the point of maximum stretch for another 10-15 "; it is advisable not to exceed 30" between the stretch phase and reaching the maximum extension.
