1 B. Many muscles cross more than one joint to exert an effect on more than one body segment. For example, the hamstring muscles of the leg accelerate the hip in the direction of extension and the knee in the direction of flexion (red arrows). At the end of the swing phase during running, the hamstring muscles are activated and undergo lengthening contractions to control the forward rotation of the leg (hip flexion and knee extension). This strategy is more economical than activating individual muscles at the hip and knee joints to control the forward rotation of the leg.
