The purpose of this study was to investigate the gluteus medius subdivision activation during unilateral weight bearing exercises (wall press exercise, wall squat exercise) with hip adduction force added and hip abduction force added exercise and suggest the most effectest exercise method. For this study, we recruited 15 healthy women with no pain in gluteus medius. All subjects were assessed gluteus medius three subdivision during wall press exercise added abduction force (WP-ABD), wall press exercise added adduction force (WP-ADD), wall squat exercise added abduction force (WS-ABD), wall squat exercise added adduction force (WS-ADD). Each exercise was analyzed 5 second isometric contraction and performed repeated one way ANOVA. We set the significant level α was .05. This study showed that anterior fiber of gluteus medius was significantly increased activation on WP-ADD (p<.05). The other exercises were significantly increased in posterior fiber of gluteus medius (p<.05). Comparison of fibers were that WP-ADD was the highest activation on anterior fiber (42.11±20.63%MVIC) and middle fiber (32.95±10.86%MVIC), posterior fiber (43.81±19.42%MVIC) of gluteus medius were WS-ABD. These results suggest that weight bearing exercise for gluteus medius strengthening used more specifically as chosen the each subdivision characteristic. Further studies are accompanied the pattern of gluteus medius as well as activation, considered relation of other muscle contribute the pelvic stabilize.
