Answer 9

Horixontal flexion is movement of arm across the body when the arm is held out in front of body
Horizontal extension is movement of the arm away from the body when the arm is out in front of body.

Eccentric contractions generally happen to act as a break to stop you from hitt8ng floor.

Question 19

What is a fixator muscle

Answer 19

A fixator muscle is a muscle that stabilises one part of the body when it is moving, and is usually above the antagonistic pair e.g trapezius when biceps contract.
