(177 cards)
agonist:
gluteus maximus is the agonist for
hip extension (ie squats)
anterior. deltoid. is the agonist for
shoulder. flexion (ie shoulder press)
agonist: biceps brachii is agonist for
elbow flexion (id biceps curl)
agonist: triceps brachii is agonist for
elbow extension (ie triceps pushdowns)
synergist: hamstring complex and the erector spine are synergist
with the glues maximum during hip extension
synergist: branchioradialis and brachial (forearm muscles) assist
the biceps brachii during a biceps curl
synergist: triceps brachii assist the
pectoral muscles during a chest press
synergist: biceps brachii assist the
latissimus doors during a pull-up
stabilizers: transverses abdominis (deep abdominal muscle), internal obliques, and multifundus (deep muscles of spine) stabilize…
the LPHC during hip extension (ie squats)
stabilizers: the rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, trees minor, and subscapularis) stabilize…
the shoulder during upper extremely movements.
antagonists:
muscles on the opposite side of a joint that are in direct opposition of agonist muscles.
stabilizers
muscles that contract isometrically to. stabilize the trunk and joints as the body moves.
synergists
muscles that assist agonists to produce a movement
agonists
the primary muscles providing force for a movement
antagonist: the biceps brachii (an elbow flexor) is an antagonist to
the triceps brachii during elbow extension (ie triceps pushdown)
antagonist: during elbow flexion, the triceps become the antagonist to
the biceps (ie biceps curl)
antagonist: the hip flexor complex is antagonist to
the gluteus maximum during hip. extension (ie squats)
antagonist: the latissimus doors is antagonist to
the deltoid during a shoulder press
length-tension relationship
the resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length
altered-length tension relationship
what a muscles resting length is too short or too long, reducing the amount of force it can produce
reciprocal inhibition
when an agonist receives a signal to contract, its functional antagonist also receives an inhibitory signal allowing it to lengthen.
altered reciprocal inhibition
occurs when an overactive agonist muscle decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist
integrated performance paradigm
forces dampened (eccentrically)
stabilized (isometrically)
accelerated (concentrically)
force-couple
the synergistic action of multiple muscles working together to produce movement around a joint
