When a muscle moves, several things have to happen at once. In the simplest form, let's say you are extending you hand in friendship and thus "stretching" your arm outward. The primary skeletal muscles in this movement would be the biceps brachii and it's companion, the triceps brachii. According to the 3rd Law of Motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the biceps contracts, the triceps relaxes and vice versa. To extend your arm the triceps will be in contraction and the biceps will be relaxed or "stretched out".
What else can I help you with?
Why when your muscles are stretched can you not lift as much?
When your muscles are stretched, their ability to generate force decreases due to the alteration in the optimal length-tension relationship. Muscles produce maximum force when they are at a specific length, and excessive stretching can place them beyond this optimal range, reducing their efficiency. Additionally, a stretched muscle may not engage its full contractile potential, leading to decreased strength during lifting. This biomechanical limitation explains why you can't lift as much when your muscles are overly stretched.
Muscles will ordinarily stay healthy if they are?
stretched or excersised.
What benefits achieved when stretched the muscles?
Improve your mobility.
Elasticity and contractility are properties of?
Elasticity refers to the ability of a tissue to return to its original shape after being stretched, while contractility is the ability of a muscle to contract or shorten. These properties are important in maintaining the structural integrity and function of tissues and muscles in the body.
A technique in which the muscles are stretched by an outside force is called?
passive stretching
What is the ability to be stretched?
The ability to be stretched is referred to as elasticity. It describes the property of materials to return to their original shape and size after being stretched or deformed. Materials like rubber and certain types of metals exhibit high elasticity.
Why do you need muscles to move around?
yes. muscles allow your bones to move. if you didn't have muscles, you'd be skin stretched over bones lying in a heap on the ground.
Does monkey bars make you get taller?
Yes it does because your muscles are pulled and therefore stretched :)
What muscles are targeted and stretched in the figure four stretch?
The figure four stretch targets and stretches the gluteus maximus and piriformis muscles in the buttocks.
A muscle's ability to resume resting after being stretched is called?
elasticity
The ability to be stretched into thin wires?
malleability and tensile strength.
When a muscle is stretched by a contraction of the opposing muscles it is called .?
if you're on OdysseyWare your answer would be Active stretching.............. =)
