Saggital
Frontal
Rotational
Saggital Plane
Flex + extend, bisects the body into right and left halves (front to back) ex:squat and pull up
Frontal Plane
an imaginary line bisecting the body into posterior and anterior halves (abduction and deduction) Ex: lateral raises

The muscle contracting
Antagonist
The muscle is relaxing/lengthening
smooth muscles
Found in the walls of hollow organs
cardiac muscles
makes up the thick middle layer of the heart
skeletal muscles
the muscles that connect to your bones and allow you to perform a wide range of movements and functions
Fiber type 1 muscles
Slow twitch (produce more oxygen, do things for a long period of time) STABILIZERS
Fiber type 2 muscles
less blood flow and oxygen, fatigue easily, more explosive (anaerobic) MAIN MOVEMENT MUSCLES
Concentric
against gravity
eccentric
with gravity
How much resistance to add
5-10%
