Muscles are often paired as agonistic and antagonistic muscles. [20] This can be a bit misleading as, in general, it is groups of muscles working together to either make or cancel a movement. [ 21 ] The present table lists some well-known relationships but is not at all complete.
The bench press is a compound movement, with the primary muscles involved being the pectoralis major, the anterior deltoids, and the triceps brachii. Other muscles located in the back, legs and core are involved for stabilization. A barbell is generally used to hold the weight, but a pair of dumbbells can also be used. [1]
Open chain exercises are postulated to be advantageous in rehabilitation settings because they can be easily manipulated to selectively target specific muscles, or specific heads of certain muscles, more effectively than their closed chain counterparts, at different phases of contraction.
The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture, and circulates blood throughout the body. [1] The muscular systems in vertebrates are controlled through the nervous system although some muscles (such as the cardiac muscle) can be
The parallel muscle architecture is found in muscles where the fibers are parallel to the force-generating axis. [1] These muscles are often used for fast or extensive movements and can be measured by the anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA). [3] Parallel muscles can be further defined into three main categories: strap, fusiform, or fan-shaped.
Two-arm dumbbell bent-over-row: [1] The barbell is replaced by two dumbbells, [3] one for each hand. Pendlay row: [1] [4] named after Glenn Pendlay; the back is parallel to the ground and the weight lifted from the floor. Yates row: [5] [1] named after Dorian Yates; a row done with underhand grip and a slightly more upright torso than a regular ...
The exercise can be enhanced by holding weights to the chest. Lighter weights may be used to begin with to prevent straining the back muscles with over-exertion. The weight may be held in a lower position by a beginner, then gradually held higher, to feel more resistance. [2] Using a back extension bench (hyperextension bench)
