Which muscle group is primarily worked by the bent knee curl-up?
Hamstring - Semimembraneous
The front curl is a muscular resistance exercise that primarily works which muscle group?
The Front Curl works with the biceps.
Leg curl is a muscular resistance exercise that primarily works which muscle group?
The leg curl and leg extension exercises strengthens two muscle groups. The two muscle groups are the hamstring muscles and the quads or quadricep muscles.
The leg curl is a muscular exercise that primarily works which muscle group?
The leg curl whether standing or sitting works the hamstring muscles, biceps femoris, which are on the back of the thigh.
When lowering an arm curl what muscle is being worked?

What muscles get worked in an arm curl?
When you preform an arm curl, you use your bicep muscle. it all depends on how you curl. If you curl straight up or do a twisting motion while curling. You use your shoulder and bicep and maybe a small portion of the pectoral muscle where it meets the shoulder.
The leg curl is a muscluar resistance what muscle group does it work?
hamstrings mostly, and glutes to a lesser extent
What is a muscle with primary action at a freely moving joint called?
The Agonist muscle. In contrast, the muscle group that has passive action(the muscle being stretched) is called the antagonis muscle. For example, when doing a bicep curl. Your biceps are the agonists and your triceps would be the antagonists.
What abdominal muscle is the stabilizer in an abdominal curl?
A curl-up on a stable surface, rectus abdominis muscle activity was 21% of MVC and external oblique muscle activity was 5% of MVC.
What is eccentric exercise?
Eccentric exercises are not a separate kind of exercise. Rather, each resistance exercise has two phases. (1) The concentric phase is when the muscle group being trained is shortened, for example, when you raise a barbell doing a standing curl. (2) The eccentric phases is when the muscle group being trained is lengthened, for example, when you lower a barbell doing a standing curl to its original position.
What is the angonist muscle and which is the antagonist muscle in a bicep curl?
The agonist (not angonist) muscle are the Biceps Brachii and the Brachioradialis and the antagonist is the Triceps Brachii.
