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.

- Several criteria were given for the naming of muscles. Match the muscle names (column B) to the criteria (column A). Note that more than one muscle may fit the criterion in some cases Column A action of the muscle 2 shape of the muscle 3 location of the origin and/or insertion of the muscle 4 number of origins 5 location of the muscle relative to a bone or body region 6 direction in which the muscle fibers run relative to some imaginary line 7 relative size of the muscle Column B abdominis transversus biceps brachiideltoid erector spinaeexternal intercostalsflexor digitorum superficialis pectoralis majorrectus abdominisarrow_forwardLocate and list two different pairs of muscles that act as on the body as agonist/antagonist. (That is, in each pair, one muscle will produce a movement, such as flexion, that the other muscle will undo, and produce extension; abduction/adduction, etc. are other ways that muscle produce opposite actions on the same part of the body).Name two muscles that act as “fixators.” (What are fixators?) What joint or joints are they helping to stabilize?Why is the biceps brachii called a “bicep,” while the triceps brachii is called a “triceps?”What is the difference between a muscle with “longus” as part of its name and a muscle with “brevis” as a part of its name?arrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: 1. A muscle that assists an agonist by causing a like movement or by stabilizing a joint over which an agonist acts is a(n) (a) antagonist, (b) prime mover, (c) synergist, (d) agonist.arrow_forward
