For which of the following sports is the structure identified here (muscle to the upper left on the left) most important in winning:
1. 9-ball (billards)
2. futbol (soccer)
3. skeet shooting
4. auto racing
5. curling
Answer: #2: futbol (soccer), why? This is the vastus lateralis of the quadriceps muscle group on the anterior aspect of the thigh. This muscle contracts to produce the leg extension needed for kicking a ball.
