What is the antagonist in shoulder extension?
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)
