There are three phases for muscle cell contraction: initiation of action potential in the sarcolemma‚ excitation-contraction coupling‚ and contraction‚ sliding of the myofilaments. ATP and calcium ions are two essential elements for muscle contraction. When ATP attaches to the myosin head‚ it gets hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. Calcium ions bind to the troponin molecules and help expose the binding sites of actin filaments to allow for the attachment of the myosin heads. After the sliding of the myofilaments

extension is the movement of straightening the leg at the knee joint. The major muscle involved in knee extension is the Quadriceps femoris‚ which is a group of four muscles. These four separate muscles of the Quadriceps femoris are the Vastus lateralis‚ Vastus medialis‚ Vastus intermedius‚ and Rectus femoris. These muscles‚ along with synergists‚ work together to perform knee extension for a vertical jump. Each of the muscles of the Quadriceps femoris have different origins‚ however they all share a
