The primary muscle intended for exercise.
The primary muscles activated by the barbell shrug are the trapezius, or traps, and rhomboids

The primary muscle groups targeted during a lat pulldown exercise are the latissimus dorsi (lats), biceps, and muscles in the upper back and shoulders.
The side bridge is an exercise that influences every muscle that the oblique's touch. The primary muscles for the side bridge are the abdominal muscles.
The primary muscle groups targeted during a chest press exercise are the pectoral muscles (chest muscles), the deltoids (shoulder muscles), and the triceps (back of the upper arm muscles).
The Gastrocnemius (calf muscle) is the primary mover. The Synergist (or assistor) muscle is the Soleus.
The primary muscle attached at the point of insertion is the muscle that undergoes the most movement when the muscle contracts. For example, in the bicep curl exercise, the bicep muscle is the primary muscle attached at its point of insertion on the radius bone in the forearm.
The optimal bench angle for performing Arnold presses to maximize shoulder muscle activation and overall effectiveness of the exercise is typically around 30 to 45 degrees. This angle helps target the shoulder muscles more effectively while also reducing strain on other parts of the body.
The patellar reflex is generally more vigorous after exercise due to increased muscle activation and elevated excitability of the nervous system. This can result in a quicker and more pronounced response when the tendon is struck, leading to a stronger contraction of the quadriceps muscle and a more prominent knee jerk reflex.
The primary substrate used to provide energy at rest during high intensity exercise is muscle glycogen. As exercise intensity increases, the body relies more heavily on glycogen stored in the muscle to fuel the activity due to its quick conversion into energy.
