The quadriceps, primarily responsible for extending the knee, play a crucial role in activities such as walking, running, and jumping. They also assist in stabilizing the knee joint during movement. At the hip, the rectus femoris, one of the four quadriceps muscles, contributes to hip flexion, allowing for movements like kicking or lifting the leg forward. Overall, the quads are essential for both knee extension and hip flexion.

What is the role of the quads and hamstrings in producing movement at a specific joint?
The quads are responsible for extending the knee joint, while the hamstrings are responsible for flexing the knee joint. Together, they work in opposition to produce movement and stabilize the knee during activities like walking, running, and jumping.
What is the movement of quads?
The quadriceps, or quads, are a group of four muscles located at the front of the thigh. Their primary movement is to extend the knee, making them crucial for activities such as walking, running, jumping, and squatting. The quads also play a role in stabilizing the knee joint during various movements. Additionally, they assist in hip flexion when the hip is bent.
Which quadricep muscle has an additional action and what is it?
It is the rectus femoris, which along with the action of knee extension, it also flexes the hip
Concentric contraction of the hamstrings causes which joint action?
knee flexion and hip extension.Biceps femoris also: knee external rotation and hip external rotation.Semi tendinosus and Semi membranosus also: knee internal rotation and hip internal rotation.hamstrings eccentric contraction causes knee extension and hip flexion, whilst the antagonist muscles are passive.
What muscles are used in leg raises?
The muscles used in the leg press exercise are your Quads primarily. Hamstring gets a good work out too.
Action of the Quadricpts muscle?
The main action of the quadriceps or "quads" is walking. This muscle helps straighten the knee and maintain posture. Without this muscle, running, walking, and even standing would be quite impossible.
What is the action of the startorius muscles?
Flexion, abduction, and lateral rotation at the hip, and flexion and medial rotation at the knee.
What are examples of reverse muscle action of the human body?
The rectus femoris THe regular Muscle Action is hip flexion with knee extension, as in kicking a ball or doing a straight leg raise The reverse muscle action is still hip flexion with knee extension, but as in doing sit-ups while lying supine with knes straight ahead
What muscle are used to kick a ball?
You use the front of the hip (hip flexors) Abdominals and quads (top of the thigh)
What is the joint above and below the knee?
It is not a separate joint it is your hip joint, the hip joint is a ball & socket joint!!!
What is the primary action of the sartouris?
Flex and abduct hip, flex and medially rotate the knee, thus attaining 'tailors' sitting position.
