During exercise, agonist and antagonist muscles have complementary roles. The agonist is the muscle primarily responsible for the movement, contracting to produce the desired action. In contrast, the antagonist muscle opposes the action of the agonist, providing balance and stability by controlling the movement and preventing injury. This coordinated interaction allows for smooth and efficient motion.
Agonist is bicep and other elbow flexors antagonist are all the elbow extensors ie triceps
The opposite of an antagonist muscle is a protagonist muscle, often referred to as an agonist. The agonist muscle is the primary muscle responsible for performing a specific movement, while the antagonist muscle opposes that movement. For example, during a bicep curl, the biceps act as the agonist, and the triceps serve as the antagonist.

The Buprenorphine opioid is classified as a partial agonist antagonist.

In chest flies, the primary agonist is the pectoralis major, which is responsible for the adduction and flexion of the arm. The antagonist is primarily the latissimus dorsi and the deltoids, which work to control and stabilize the movement by opposing the actions of the pectoralis major. This balance between the agonist and antagonist helps maintain proper form and prevent injury during the exercise.
Drugs can act as agonist or antagonist to regulate a process or function of cellular/chemical process.

L-dopa is a precursor that is converted to dopamine in the brain. It is not an agonist or antagonist itself, but once converted to dopamine, it acts as an agonist on dopamine receptors.
