Chapter 12. Application of Changing Criterion Design. Limitations of the Study One limitation of the study was gender bias. It was noted in the study that there are more overweight girls than boys, yet the authors included only boys in the study. Therefore, the findings may not be generalizable to the general population.
Anatomy. The buttocks are formed by the masses of the gluteal muscles or glutes (the gluteus maximus muscle and the gluteus medius muscle) superimposed by a layer of fat. The superior aspect of the buttock ends at the iliac crest, and the lower aspect is outlined by the horizontal gluteal crease. The gluteus maximus has two insertion points: 1â3 superior portion of the linea aspera of the femur, and the superior portion of the iliotibial tractus.
Gluteus Maximus. The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the human body. It is large and powerful because it has the job of keeping the trunk of the body in an erect posture. It is the chief antigravity muscle that aids in walking up stairs.
