What is the antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee?
The antagonist muscle in the flexion of the knee is the quadriceps muscle group. When the knee is being flexed, the quadriceps relax to allow the hamstrings to contract and bring about the flexion movement.
What muscles contract when you kick a football?

Muscle group antagonistic to the quadriceps femoris?
Quadricepts
Give examples for concentric and eccentric muscle contractions in gait cycle?
while kicking a football, the Quadriceps muscle contracts concentrically to straighten the knee and the Hamstrings contract eccentrically to decelerate the motion of the lower limb.In concentric muscle contraction muscle length decreases along with contraction of the fibres while in eccentric muscle contraction the muscle length increases.Dr Santosh
What is the primary job of the quadriceps muscle?
The primary job of the quadriceps muscle is to extend the knee joint, which means straightening the lower leg. It also helps stabilize the knee during movement and contributes to activities like walking, running, and jumping.
Functions of triceps femoris muscle of frog?
extends leg; straightens knee joint
What is the primary function of the knee extension muscle?
The primary function of the knee extension muscle is to straighten the leg by extending the knee joint.
What class of lever is knee flexion?
Knee flexion is an example of a third-class lever, where the effort (force) is applied between the fulcrum (joint) and the resistance (weight of the lower leg). The quadriceps muscle exerts the effort to flex the knee joint, overcoming the resistance provided by the weight of the lower leg.
Do the hamstrings relax when the quadriceps contract?
Only during wokouts that target the quads specifically like weighted squats. During regular running or walking, the hamstrings contract eccentricly to control the extension of the knee. Otherwise, the knee would would kick out in a snap with a powerful quad contraction. Esteban SPTA, South Texas College
What muscle does the last 10 degrees of knee extension?
The muscle primarily responsible for the last 10 degrees of knee extension is the popliteus muscle. It is a small muscle located at the back of the knee joint and helps to unlock the knee by internally rotating the tibia on the femur.
Why is it wrong to use a curry come on the lower part of a horses legs?
Because there is no muscle below the knee/hock to cushion the bones
What knee muscle have reverse actions?
Gastrocnemius muscle
