This study was conducted by Yeung et al. (2014) and showed no significant difference in muscle strength when applying the facilitating technique of KT on the knee extensors before and after an isometric fatigue protocol. They reported that applying the facilitation technique to the vastus medialis oblique muscle VMO

    eversion. For the knee to be able to flex‚ the gastrocnemius and the hamstrings perform a concentric movement whilst the quadriceps and tibialis anterior create the eccentric movement because they lengthen. The erector spinae allows for the back to extend when the individual swings their arms back and forth around their body in preparation of releasing the discus. This allows for the muscle length to increase so that muscle is completing an eccentric contraction. Because the body is moving from side to

    shoulder’s agonist muscles are concentric and the antagonist muscles are coactivation. The left elbow is still flexed. The agonist muscles are therefor concentric and the antagonist muscles are coactivaiton. The left wrist is not seen again but should still be in line with the arm. This would mean the agonist muscles are coactivation and the antagonist muscles are concentric. The right arm’s shoulder is now fully extended. The antagonist muscles are concentric and the agonist muscles are stabilizing

    Q9.Explain how the muscle produces movement and different types of contraction.(M3) Sliding filament theory. Each muscle fibre is made up of smaller fibres called myofibrils. These contain even smaller structures called actin which is a thin‚ contractile protein filament‚ containing ’active’ or ’binding’ sites and myosin filaments which are a thick‚ contractile protein filament‚ with Myosin Heads. These filaments slide in and out between each other to form a muscle contractions‚ this is why it is

Then‚ the weight is lowered back to the start position. The reverse barbell curl in particular targets the biceps brachii which is positioned on the front part of your arm between the shoulder and the elbow. This muscle ’s primary function is elbow flexion and forearm supination. The biceps also has two heads known as the long head and the short head

    There are a number of different methods to measuring strength. Including‚ strength tests‚ for example‚ bench press‚ squat and deadlift. However‚ to gain a precise amount of force production through a muscle contraction‚ a type of dynamometer must be used. The Biodex has shown to be reliable and accurate throughout numerous amounts of studies. To test force production‚ the main method is through an isokinetic test. One of the most reliable and advanced systems is the Biodex isokinetic system. Asundi
