An agonist muscle is a muscle that plays a part in the extension of a muscle. The agonist muscles for a knee extension are the quadriceps and hamstrings.
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.
antagonist goes against the muscle biceps brachii are antagonistic to the triceps brachi quadriceps are antagonistic to the hamstrings an agonist works with the muscle lifting a glass of water brachialis works with the biceps
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.
Agonist
Anti-psychotic
A synergist eliminates the undesireable effects of thr agonist muscle. For the hamstring contraction, there eeds tp ne a snergist in hip flexxors to not move hips when contracting the hamstrings. A stabilizer is around a joint that prevents it from being dislocated.
The Agonist was created in 2004.
adrenalin is an agonist
Yes, hamstrings are used for soccer!
The following is a list of commonly used agonist/antagonist muscle pairs:pectorals/latissimus dorsi (pecs and lats)anterior deltoids/posterior deltoids (front and back shoulder)trapezius/deltoids (traps and delts)abdominals/spinal erectors (abs and lower-back)left and right external obliques (sides)quadriceps/hamstrings (quads and hams)shins/calvesbiceps/tricepsforearm flexors/extensors
Agonist is muscarine and antagonist is atropine.
