Followed bu the leg extending at the knee. What type of contraction of the hamstring muscles would occur during flexion of the leg and then during extension of the leg? eccentric/ concentric eccentric/ isometric concentric/ eccentric concentric/ isometricarrow_forward

Identify the type of muscle contraction involved in the jump and describe the movement patterns of the concentric and eccentric phases. Outline the agonists, antagonists and synergist muscles, which contribute to maximum jump height. Identify the major lower body joints and joint movements, which contribute to the concentric phase of the jump.arrow_forward
- The right levator scapula is contracted with the intent to only elevate the scapula, no other actions at the scapula are desired. Please complete the following two part question What are all of the muscles that could act as a synergist/neutralizer during this motion? What muscle would be the best option for a synergist/neutralizer and justify your answer?arrow_forwardWith the paired muscles along the spine, a more origin (attachment) will allow the muscle to generate more rotation and/or lateral flexion when only one side of the paired muscle is activate.arrow_forwardIdentify the muscles that are involved in the following movements: Knee Extension Knee Flexsion Knee Fytenarrow_forward
