Will an increase in my glute activation translate to an improvement in my cycling power output?

Optimizing glute activation may increase cycling power output but it is hard to measure therefore highly variable. In quads’ predominant gluteanthrophy, efforts toward strength training and glute activation excercises targeting the gluteoster are likely to foster a more integrated and powerful pedal stroke. But this increased power output could have been the result of improved muscle coordination and stabilization overall rather than relative glute strength alone.

Any prescriptive suggestions for glute activation?   Ive been doing a static theraband hold before rides and one leg dead lifts a few times a week.  Seems to help, but I'm always looking for new things to try!
