Haha, the transverse abdominus? Really? I'm pretty sure that muscle has nothing to do with downhill running. Some of these answer choices are just silly.

I was totally going to pick the brachioradialis, but then I remembered this is about the lower body, not the upper body. Oops!

Hmm, I was thinking the hamstrings, but now that I think about it, the quadriceps make more sense for the eccentric control on the descent.

Yeah, the quadriceps are key for controlling the speed and impact of downhill running. It's important to strengthen them for better performance.

I always thought it was the hamstrings too, but it makes sense that the quadriceps play a bigger role in eccentric activation.

I agree, the quadriceps are definitely more involved in controlling the descent during downhill running.

The quadriceps are definitely the ones doing the eccentric work during downhill running. This is classic biomechanics knowledge.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be D) quadriceps because they also play a role in stabilizing the knee during downhill running.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) quadriceps since they are also heavily involved in downhill running.
