Side leg raises target the muscles of the hip and outer thigh, including the gluteus medius and tensor fasciae latae, which play a crucial role in stabilizing the pelvis and preventing excessive stress on the iliotibial band. Performing side leg raises can help strengthen these muscles and reduce strain on the ITB, alleviating symptoms of ITBS.
