While sitting infront of the computer for a long time, you decided to stretch your back by bending backwards.  Which muscles are involved in this action? Group of answer choices infraspinatus, subscapularis, supraspinatus and teres minor iliocostalis, longissimus and spinalis geniohyoid, stylohyoid, mylohyoid and digastric biceps femoris, semimembranosus and semitendinosus
What type of lever is the vastus medialis? Support your answer with a free body diagram. The vasti muscles are used both for sit-to-stand AND stand-to-sit movements. Which of these two tasks represents a concentric contraction and which represents an eccentric contraction? Which muscle (vastus lateralis or medialis) do you think is more important for doing a slow, controlled stand-to-sit transition? If you witnessed your grandfather "plopping" (doing an uncontrolled sit) into a chair, would you recommend giving him eccentric or concentric strengthening exercises for his vasti muscles? Justify your answer.
