What is the synergist to knee extension?
iliopsoas
What is the agonist antagonist and synergist for tricep extension?
Antagonist: lats Agonist: Abdominals
What muscles are involved in knee extension?
The quadriceps muscles are primarily involved in knee extension.
What is the synergist to the quadriceps muscles?
The synergist to the quadriceps muscles is the rectus femoris, which is one of the four muscles that make up the quadriceps group. Additionally, the iliopsoas and the tensor fasciae latae can act as synergists during activities that involve hip flexion. These muscles assist in stabilizing and facilitating the actions of the quadriceps, particularly during movements like knee extension and hip flexion.
What is the primary function of the knee extension muscle?
The primary function of the knee extension muscle is to straighten the leg by extending the knee joint.
Agonists in knee extension?
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.
What type of rotation occurs when you perform knee extension?
Knee extension is primarily a sagittal plane movement that involves extension of the knee joint, resulting in straightening of the leg. It does not involve any specific type of rotation.

What are the antagonist muscle used in knee extension?
The antagonists would be those muscles that cause knee flexion. Hamstrings (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendonosis) are the primary knee flexors, and would thus be antagonists to knee extension.
What is a strength exercise?
knee extension
Which of these is a strength exercise?
Knee extension
Which type of of movement bends the knee and brings the lower leg backward?
Extension. Extension increases an angle, as in straightening a joint. During extension, the knee or elbow are straightened.
