Summary Introduction

To select: Five resistance-based exercises for the upper extremity and identify the muscles that are primary movers and muscles that assist during performance of each exercise.

Concept introduction: Muscles are soft tissues. Muscles are classified as skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscles contract and relax with the bones and they help in locomotion, gait and respiration. The articulating connection also known as the joint is the connection between two bones that help both the bones to perform the same function in synchronized fashion.
