Vertebral Foraminal Entrapment on Hip Flexion and Knee Extension
Concentric contraction of the hamstrings causes which joint action?
knee flexion and hip extension.Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.
What is the antagonist of the gluts?
The antagonist of the glutes, or gluteus maximus, is the hip flexors. These muscles are responsible for flexing the hip joint, while the glutes are responsible for extending the hip joint. Strengthening both the glutes and hip flexors is important for maintaining balance and stability in the hips.
What is the agonist and antagonist muscles in a lunge?
Agonist(s) - Gluteus Maximus/Quadriceps FemorisSynergist(s) - Biceps Femoris (Hamstrings)Stabilizer(s) - Transversus AbdominisAntagonist(s) - Hip Flexors (Mainly the Iliopsoas)Movement(s) - Hip Extension/Knee ExtensionPlanes - Sagittal PlaneYour agonist(s) (when done properly i.e. sitting back/knees out) for a squat will be your glutes and quadriceps. Your synergist(s) will actually be your hamstrings as the biceps femorislong head assists greatly in hip extension. Your antagonist(opposing muscle) during a squat will be your Hip flexors i.e. Hip flexion.
What happens when the gluteus maximus contracts?
The purpose of the gluteus maximus is extension, including hyperextension, of the hip.
How can people measure suppleness?
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
What are the agonist and antagonist in a triceps extension?

What muscles is the agonist in hip extension?
Hip Extension the agonist would be Glutues Maximus
