Which of the following is included in the Hip Stability Drill?

• A. Lateral Leg Raise
• B. Supine Bicycle
• C. Turn and Lunge
• D. 8-Count T Push-Up

Answer: (A)

The question is about identifying an exercise that directly builds hip stability by targeting the hip’s stabilizing muscles. The lateral leg raise does this by isolating the hip abductors (like the gluteus medius and minimus) as you lift the leg to the side while keeping the pelvis level. Strengthening these muscles enhances lateral pelvic control and alignment of the leg during weight-bearing activities, which is exactly what a Hip Stability Drill aims to improve.

The other options target different fitness goals. Supine bicycle emphasizes core endurance and trunk coordination more than isolating hip stabilizers. Turn and lunge focuses on hip mobility and dynamic movement patterns, not specifically the stabilizing action of the hip on the pelvis. The 8-count T push-up is primarily an upper-body pushing exercise with some core engagement, not a drill for hip stability.

So, the lateral leg raise best fits the purpose of the Hip Stability Drill.
