    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 iliopsoas while the hamstring

    different muscles. Many muscles are involved, some more than others. I will first talk about the ones used the least. The shoulder girdle involves muscles that are key to the movement, but are mostly used in stabilization of the shoulder. The Trapezius and the Rhomboid muscles are stabilizers of the shoulder along with the rotator cuff muscles including the Supraspinatis, Infraspinatis, Teres Minor, and Subscapularis which provide dynamic stability of the shoulder. All these muscles are key

    Different muscle groups “learn” to work together to perform and stabilize a movement. For example, while the Biceps Brachii produces the main force for the bicep curl, the Brachialis’ role in stabilization is increased, and the Triceps Brachii relax to allow for the Biceps to exert greater force. The body needs to learn to coordinate agonists and antagonists properly for maximal force production. As the interaction within a single muscle group improves, the motor neurons connection with the individual

    Introduction Muscle is formed with a long and thin tissue called muscle tissue which moves the organs and organisms, and the muscle tissue is made out of a group of cells called the muscle fibers. There are three types of muscle: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle is the muscle who moves the bones, it has much longer fibers than the smooth muscles. Smooth muscle forms the walls of organs, for example, the wall of a stomach. Cardiac muscle is the muscle that forms the

    The muscles and tendons of the rotator cuff, the acromion, and ligamentous attachments between the coracoid process of the scapula and the acromion serve to both stabilize the gleno-humeral joint and provide a wide range of motion of the shoulder joint. The distal humerus articulates with the radius and ulna at the elbow. The greater tuberosity is located on the superior aspect of the humerus just lateral to the humeral head and it provides attachment for three of the rotator cuff muscles supraspinatus

    There are many muscles involved in a free throw. The tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges are located in the feet, allowing there to be balance in an individual’s stance before the ball is released. This is important because your feet need to be aligned correctly, facing the rim, to ensure the shot will be successful. The patella is located in the front of the kneecap which contracts due to the movement of the tibia, fibula and femur. While the lower body is bent, the humerus, ulna, radius and carpals

The tibiofermoral (knee) joints are slightly flexed by a isomectric contraction of the quadriceps muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius). The acetabularfemoral (hip) joint is held at a postion of slight flexion through an isometric contraction of the biceps femoris, pectineus, iliacus, and the psoas. The intervertebral
