Latissimus dorsi muscle

The muscles of your shoulder are strongly involved whenever you throw a punch. Your anterior deltoids, located on the front of your shoulders, work with your pectoralis major muscles to push your arm out towards the opponent. Once you have hit the opponent, your middle trapezius, rhomboids and latissimus dorsi draw your arm back ready for you to throw another punch. The Muscles of the Upper Arm Extending your arm is down to your triceps brachii. This is located on the rear of your upper arm, and

essential to all movement of the human body as they are what is moved during muscle contractions, but can also limit our range of motion. During the primary vertical jump flexion and extension of the hip is allowed by the highly mobile ball and socket joint formed between the pelvis and femur. Flexion and extension of the knee is made possible by the hinge joint formed between the femur and tibia and dorsiflexion

hands and knees. She raises her left arm while simultaneously extending her right hip and knee. The muscle fibers of her anterior deltoid engage and act as the agonist for shoulder flexion while the gluteus maximus engages as the agonist for hip extension. The quadriceps femoris group act as the agonist for knee extension. The antagonists for shoulder flexion are the posterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, teres major, pectoralis major, and the triceps brachii. The antagonist for her hip extension is the

The first of the three energy pathways is the phosphagen pathway. This pathway is a combination of creatine phosphate and a fast rate of ATP production. The creatine phosphate reconstructs ATP after it’s broken down to release the energy. Two exercises that utilize this pathway would be a short sprint or a set of lifting weights. The second energy pathway on the list is the anaerobic glycolosis. This pathway uses the energy in glucose to form the ATP. This requires energy for 30 seconds to about

the upper extremity, it causes a debilitating condition called scapular winging. The muscles affected are serratus anterior, trapezius, and rhomboids. Loss of function of the Anterior Thoracic Nerves 1 would affect the antagonist muscles of Shoulder Medial Rotation (Serratus anterior, Trapezius, and Rhomboids), not the synergist muscles that create the movement (Pectoralis major, Subscapularis, Latissimus dorsi, Teres major, and Anterior deltoid). Scapular winging causes you to lose ability in lifting

types of muscles used while bumping a volleyball such as the shoulder, elbow, and knee muscles. The joint used in the shoulder muscle is the shoulder girdle and the action you can do is elevation. When bumping a volleyball, the agonist muscles used are the upper trapezius, rhomboids, and levator scapulae. While the antagonist muscles are latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major and minor, serratus anterior, and trapezius. The bones used are the humerus, scapula, and clavicle. The deep muscle group that

Possible diagnosis Signs and Symptoms Pharmacological treatment Subacromial Bursitis 1. Pain that worsens over winter (when patient had to repetitively rake snow, possibly causing inflammation) 2. Pain located at the top and side of the shoulder (acromial area) Corticosteroid injection to decrease pain and inflammation Non-traumatic Partial Supraspinatus Tear 1. Pain that worsens over winter (when patient had to repetitively rake snow) 2. Pain at rest that increases with shoulder movement 3.Pain

known to experience some pain in her bones but has been cleared to do moderate, low impact, resistance and aerobic exercise. Clients goals are to increase her cardiovascular endurance and to involve some type of resistance training to strengthen muscles. Optimal goal is to improve her overall physical fitness levels. Client can give up to an hour of her daily time for training purposes for 7-day training program. Client will aim to mostly improve aerobic fitness level and devote 3 days of the week

exercises were preformed using resistance bands and a cable machine. According to my supervisor, this patient was in a transitional period of moving form strictly manual therapy to muscle strengthening. More specifically, the exercises prescribed by the therapist were purposed to build muscular endurance. The muscles being
