What is the agonist antagonist and synergist for tricep extension?
Antagonist: lats Agonist: Abdominals
What is the antagonist in a bench press?
the agonist should be the deltiods and biceps, the agonist should be the triceps and the stabilizer is the wrist.
What is the agonist in a dumbbell curl?
The antagonist to the Triceps are the biceps-brachii
Which is the agonist muscle and which is the antagonist muscle in performing a bicep curl?
Agonist is bicep and other elbow flexors antagonist are all the elbow extensors ie triceps
What muscles relax when the agonist muscles contract?
in the arm: bicep contracts (agonist) triceps relax (antagonist) in the leg: hamstrings contract (agonist) quadriceps relaxes (antagonist) remember the agonist is the muscle "agonising" to do the work - like pulling the joint.
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.
An example of an antagonist muscle is?
Antagonist muscles are muscles that counteract the action of agonist muscles.Some examples of antagonist muscles are:Triceps work opposite of biceps.Hamstrings works opposite of quadriceps.The sternocleidomastoid works opposite of the deltoids.
In a volleyball came when someone is serving if the bicep is the agonist What is the antagonist muscle?
Your Triceps would be as its the opposite muscle to your Biceps
Stand and put a soup can in your hand hang your arm with your palm out in front of your waist lift the soup can towards your shoulder then lower your arm again what muscles are you working?
As you lift the soup can, you are contracting your biceps (the agonist) and relaxing your triceps (the antagonist). As you lower your arm, you are contracting your triceps (the agonist) and relaxing your biceps (the antagonist).
Difference between agonist and antagonist?
Agonist works with the muscles, and the antagonist is the muscle working against it in a contraction. i.e. Bicep curl, the agonist is the Biceps brachii and the antagonist muscle is the triceps brachii.The word agonist means "producing an action" - an antagonist opposes that action. In medicine, an agonist binds to a receptor site and causes a response, often imitating the natural body reaction. An antagonist acts against this drug and blocks the response. for examples ramiels small balls and pubic hair
Term for the triceps brachii during elbow flexion?
Triceps brachiiElbow flexion is due to the contraction of the biceps brachii, the prime mover. The triceps brachii extends as the biceps brachii contracts and therefore is the antagonist muscle.
What are muscles that work in opposing pairs called?
One is the agonist and the other is called the antagonist. Agonist: muscle which is the main mover, it contracts and shortens Antagonist: muscle that lengthens and controls e.g. flexion at the elbow: the biceps are the agonist and the triceps are the antagonist.
