Q

what is the function of the Pectoralis major?

A

Adduction of the shoulder (moving the arm towards the body); Shoulder horizontal flexion (moving the arms forwards in front of the body)

17
Q

what is the function of the Triceps?

A

Extend the elbow (straightening the arm)

18
Q

what is the function of the Biceps?

A

Flex the elbow (bending the arm)

19
Q

what is the function of the External obliques?

A

Trunk rotation (turning the body sideways

20
Q

what is the function of the Latissimus dorsi?

A

Shoulder adduction (moving the arm towards the body); Shoulder horizontal extension

21
Q

what is the function of the Hip flexors?

A

Hip flexion (moving knee up towards the chest)

22
Q

what is the function of the Gluteus maximus?

A

Hip extension (moving the leg backwards)

23
Q

what is the function of the Quadriceps?

A

Extend the knee (straightening the leg)

24
Q

what is the function of the Hamstrings?

A

Flex the knee (bending the leg)

25
Q

what is the function of the Gastrocnemius?

A

Plantar flexion of the ankle (pointing the toes downwards)

26
Q

what is the function of the Tibialis anterior?

A

Dorsiflexion of the ankle (bringing the toes up towards the shin)

27
Q

what is an Isotonic concentric contraction?

A

this involves the muscle shortening. The origin and insertion of the muscle move closer together and the muscle becomes fatter.

28
Q

what is an Isotonic eccentric contraction?

A

this involves the muscle lengthening whilst it is under tension. The origin and the insertion move further away from each other. An eccentric contraction provides the control of a movement on the downward phase and it works to resist the force of gravity.

29
Q

what is an Isometric contraction ?

A

this involves a muscle producing tension but staying the same length. This occurs when the body is fixed in one position.

30
Q

what are the antagonistic pairs?

A

Biceps and Triceps

Hamstrings and Quadriceps

Gluteus maximus and Hip flexors

Gastrocnemius and Tibialis anterior

Pectoralis major and Latissimus dorsi
