The combo quad stretch mainly targets which portion of the quadriceps?

• A. Medial Quad
• B. Anterior Quad
• C. Lateral Quad
• D. Posterior Quad

Answer: (A)

This stretch bias focuses on lengthening the inner portion of the front thigh. The quad muscles run along the front of the thigh, and the vastus medialis sits on the inner side. When you perform the combo quad stretch, the position places the front of the thigh under more length along the inner fibers, so the vastus medialis is lengthened the most. That’s why this stretch is described as mainly targeting the medial quad—the part closest to the inside of the leg. The other quadriceps regions aren’t stressed as much in this setup, and there isn’t a separate “posterior quad” muscle since all four heads lie on the front of the thigh.
