18. 1. What movement is occurring at Nadel’s right elbow? Elbow flexion
Name the muscle responsible for this movement. Biceps
What does the triceps do to allow this movement / action to occur? Relaxes & lengthens, (then end of movement)

19. Muscles work in pairs. What is the name we give to the muscle that causes movement to occur? Prime mover / agonist
What is the name given to the other muscle, that allows the movement/action to occur? Antagonist muscle

20. Name the movement occurring at the following joints;
AND the prime mover / agonist muscle responsible:
Shoulder Flexion – Anterior deltoid (Antagonist = posterior deltoid)
Elbow. Extension – triceps (antagonist = biceps)
Left knee Flexion - Hamstrings (antagonist = quadriceps)

21. For the Irish player name the movement occurring at the following joints;
AND the prime mover / agonist muscle responsible:
Right hip Extension – Gluteals (antagonist = Hip flexors)
Right knee Extension - quadriceps
Right ankle Plantar flexion - gastrocnemius
Left shoulder Abduction - trapezius

22. 12. What is the movement occurring at the right wrist of the volleyball player spiking the ball? Flexion – wrist flexors (antagonist = wrist extensors)

23. Stability
State where the centre of gravity and line of gravity are in the following pictures: AND describe the relative stability of each person

24. 15. Explain 3 ways in which the person indicated by the arrow increases their stability? Wide stance, bend knees = lower cog, keep cog over base of support “A” 16. Make a statement about the centre of gravity and relative stability of the diver compared to person “A” Arms raised cog shifts higher, narrow base of support = less stable

25. To control their forward rotation, the gymnast arches his back and moves his arms and legs backward (in a position similar to the ‘hang position’ adopted in the long jump). This is an application of which of Newton’s Laws?
Newton’s 3rd Law = For every Action there is an equal & opposite reaction
