The adductor longus is a prime adductor and medial rotator of the femur. It is also an assistant mover for flexion at the hip.
Therefore the antagonist muscles are the abductors (apposing adduction), the lateral rotators (apposing medial rotation) and the extensors (apposing flexion).
Primary Abductors: Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus
Assistant Abductors: Tensor Fasciae Latter, Sartorius
Primary Lateral Rotators: Glutteus Maximus, Deep Later Rotator group
Assistant Lateral Rotators: Sartorius, Iliopsoas
Primary Extensors: Hamstrings, Gluteus Maximus
Assistant Extensors: Adductor Magnus (upper fibres)

Agonist = Posterior Deltoid
Antagonist = Latissimus Dorsi

Extension
Flexibility is measured by the range of motion. The range of movement is measured by using a goniometer: hip flexion, hip extension, hip adbuction, hip adduction, shoulder adduction, shoulder fexion, shoulder extension, elbow flexion/extension, and knee flexion/extension.mile run
That is flexion and extension at shoulder joint.
1. Goniometer 2. Sit and reach test 3. Shoulder flexibilty test 4. Trunk extension test
FLEXORSBiceps brachia- Primarily forearm supination, but also functions in elbow flexion, shoulder flexion, and shoulder adductionChoracobrachialis- Shoulder flexion, shoulder adductionBrachialis- Elbow flexionEXTENSORSTriceps Brachii- Powers elbow extension
Antagonist: lats Agonist: Abdominals
the antagonist of adduction is the pectoralis major
Extension
The muscles which produce shoulder extension are: Latissimus Dosi & Pectoralis Major.

Shoulder adductors. Abduction means moving away from the median plane of the body and adduction means moving towards the median plane of the body.
Shoulder extension is controlled by: Long head of the triceps, the last, and the teres major

Agonist - Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii Antagonist - Bicep Brachii, Latissimus Dorsi
