HUMAN MUSCULAR SYSTEM
2
Agonist vs. Antagonist Agonist and antagonist work in opposite directions of each other. Agonist is the prime mover of a motion Antagonist is the muscle opposite of the contraction When a muscle contracts (agonist) the antagonist resist that contraction. In movement and training, it is important to relax the antagonist and allow the agonist to contract. If both contract, an isometric contraction will occur
3
Contractions Isotonic Isometric Isokinetic
Contraction in which the muscle length will shorten and movement of a limb takes place (movement) Isometric Contraction in which the muscle shorten, but no movement in the limb will take place. Agonist and antagonist muscle work against each other (no movement) Isokinetic Contraction performed where the muscle shortens and movement takes place, but the speed of the contraction remains the same the entire range of motion (with a machine)
4
DELTOID PRIMARY MOVEMENT
Abduction of the arm – Raising it horizontally ( middle ) Medial Rotation Lateral Rotation EXERCISES Isotonic Seated Dumbbell Press Lateral Raises Bent over laterals Isometric Lateral Extension Overhead hold
5
Glutes Movement Extends the femur and brings the thigh into a line with the body Supports the trunk on the head of the femur Most powerful action is to bring body into an upright position. Isotonic Squat Lunge Deadlift Step – ups Isometric Glute Squeeze Standing Abduction Quadriped leg extension
