Your gluteal muscles, commonly known as your butt, are the muscles that you're sitting on and likely not using at all as you're reading this. If you’re lying down they are the muscles that kick your leg to the ceiling when you’re lying on your side (hip abduction) or your stomach (hip extension).

Sports injuries and pitching pain
Throwing involves more than just the muscles of the shoulder. Pitching is more than just throwing hard. Pitching can be considered as 6 phases of motion that simplistically link the pitcher’s arm to their shoulder girdle, trunk, hips and legs.

Ankle sprains
One of the most common sporting injuries is a sprained ankle. Lateral ankle sprains usually occur with a rolling in (inversion) of the ankle. Ankle sprains are often sustained during a mis-step, giving out on a pivoting movement or landing on an opponent’s foot during a jump. If the speed of the force is too quick or great for the muscular system to react the result can be an injury to the non-muscular structures of the ankle.
