Rectus Abdominus
An agonist muscle is a muscle that plays a part in the extension of a muscle. The agonist muscles for a knee extension are the quadriceps and hamstrings.
The agonist muscle used in a side leg raise is the adductor.
During movement, the muscle that lengthens is typically the antagonist muscle, which opposes the action of the primary mover (agonist). For example, when you extend your arm, the biceps (agonist) contracts while the triceps (antagonist) lengthens. This lengthening allows for controlled movement and stabilization of the joint involved. This process is known as eccentric contraction.
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.
An agonist is a person who is involved in a contest or battle, or a muscle which contracts while the other relaxes.
Synergists aid agonists by promoting the same movement.a synergist :)
the trapezius muscle
the deltiod muscle
An agonist is a drug or chemical that binds to a receptor and activates it, producing a biological response. In contrast, an antagonist is a substance that binds to a receptor but does not activate it, thereby blocking the receptor from being activated by other molecules. Agonists and antagonists often have opposite effects on a physiological process or pathway.
Agonist is bicep and other elbow flexors antagonist are all the elbow extensors ie triceps
Flexor carpi
agonist, antagonist, synergist
