1 answer

When running for exercise, the primary muscles that act as stabilizers are:

B. pelvic muscles

Pelvic muscles play a crucial role in stabilizing the core and maintaining proper posture while running. They help support the pelvis and lower back, ensuring that the body's alignment is maintained during the activity. Other stabilizing muscles include those in the core, such as the abdominal and lower back muscles, but from the options provided, pelvic muscles are the most relevant stabilizers in the context of running.

Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles found in various organs, cardiac muscles are the heart muscles, and leg muscles are primarily responsible for movement rather than stabilization specifically.
