Agonist And Antagonist At The Hip

Question 1

What is the agonist and antagonist at the hip whilst flexion and extension is occurring?

Answer 1

Flexion=
Agonist- llipsoas
Antagonist- gluteus maximus
Extension=
Agonist- gluteus maximus
Antagonist- llipsoas

Question 2

What is the agonist and antagonist at the hip whilst adduction and abduction is occurring?

Answer 2

Adduction=
Agonist- adductor longus and brevis
Antagonist= gluteus media’s and minimus
Abduction=
Agonist- gluteus medias and minimus
Antagonist= adductor longus and brevis

Question 3

What is agonist and antagonist at the hip when medial and lateral rotation is occurring?

Answer 3

Medial rotation=
Agonist- llipsoas and adductor longus and brevis
Antagonist- gluteus medius and minimus
Lateral rotation=
Agonist- gluteus media’s and minimus
Antagonist- llipsoas and adductor longus and brevis
