A place where two or more bones meet to form a joint

Isometric contraction
Means the muscle stays the same length.
Ex, holding a weight in a static position.
Length of the muscle doesn’t change but amount of tension increases.
Isotonic contraction - concentric
muscle shortening under tension.
Ex, when jumping after a squat, quadriceps shortens to allow extension of the knee joint.
Isotonic contraction - eccentric
Involves a muscle lengthening under tension.
Ex, when doing a squat the quadriceps lengthens under tension.
Synergist muscles
Assists the agonist muscle “primary mover” for a specific action at a joint.
Is not the main muscle involved in the action, but works in synergy with the primary muscle, helps make movements more accurate and fluid.
Ex, gastrocnemius and soleus in a dorsi flexión.
Fixator muscle
A muscle which acts as the stabilizer of one part of the body during movement of another part. Allowing agonist muscle to work effectively.
Ex, deltoid helps stabilize the biceps during biceps curl.
