Antagonistic Muscle Pairs
Video taken from the channel: socalledhappyending
Most of the muscles in the torso, arms and legs are arranged in opposing pairs. That means, when one muscle is contracting, like say the biceps muscle, that muscle is the agonist muscle during an exercise. The antagonist muscle is the opposite muscle.Instructions Choose which area of the body containing antagonist muscles you would like to model. A couple of options are: Upper arm: Upper arm: biceps and triceps (depending on direction of pull) Legs: gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior (working in tandem to move the knee joint) You may want to.
Antagonistic muscles are muscles that work in opposition to each other. For example, a person uses certain sets of muscles to open his hand and splay his fingers wide. In order to close the hand and make a fist, however, an antagonistic set.
The hamstrings are the agonist and the quadriceps are the antagonist. In the contact and recovery phase, the quadriceps contract to extend the knee while the hamstrings lengthen to allow the.Antagonistic muscle groups move the same joint in opposite directions.
Pullup antagonists tend to lengthen as the primary movers shorten during the exercise movement. Pullup antagonist muscles specifically move your shoulders and shoulder blades in the opposite direction of the joint movements that occur while performing pullups.Instead, the antagonist muscle usually lengthens to allow motion as the opposing agonist muscle contracts. Tip. When a muscle contracts to move a joint — such as the biceps bending your elbow — it is called the agonist.
The antagonist is the muscle group opposite the active muscle. In this example, the antagonist is the triceps.The most notable antagonistic pairs are. Biceps and triceps are antagonistic pairs. The biceps muscle works across three joints and the most important of these functions is to flex the Shoulder – deltoid muscle, latissimus dorsi – back and pectoralis major -chest are.
Agonist muscles react in response to voluntary or involuntary stimulus and create the movement necessary to complete a task. Antagonist muscles act against the agonist muscle and help to move the body part back in place after the action is completed. In a bicep curl, the biceps work as the agonist, while the triceps are the antagonist.
The prime mover, sometimes called the agonist, is the muscle that provides the primary force driving the action. An antagonist muscle is in opposition to a prime mover in that it provides some resistance and/or reverses a given movement.Antagonistic muscle exercises that work the front and back of your thighs move your knees in opposite directions.
Your quadriceps respond to knee extension movements that straighten your legs and include leg extensions, squats, lunges and leg presses. Flexing your knees brings your calves toward your buttocks and activates the hamstring muscles that form the back of your thighs.Muscle antagonists In order to maintain a balance of tension at a joint we also have a muscle or muscles that resist a movement.
The main muscle that resists a movement is called the antagonist. We could also say that the antagonist is the main muscle that does the opposite of the action that it is resisting.Antagonist muscles are simply the muscles that produce an opposing joint torque to the agonist muscles.
This torque can aid in controlling a motion. The opposing torque can slow movement down especially in the case of a ballistic movement.In each pair, depending on the movement, one muscle plays the role of the “agonist” and the other muscle plays the role of “antagonist”. The agonist is a muscle that contracts to cause the movement.
The antagonist is an opposing muscle that relaxes relatively to stretch. These two roles, agonist and antagonist, can be exchanged back and forth.Antagonist for the glutes are the hip flexors/lliopsoas. The squat, being a compound movement, doesn’t really have antagonist muscles as such.
It’s muscles that have antagonists, not exercises. So the hamstrings are the antagonists of the quadriceps.A set of antagonists called the hamstrings in the posterior compartment of the thigh are activated to slow or stop the movement.
These terms are reversed for the opposite action, flexion of the leg at the knee. In this case the hamstrings would be called the agonists.

Appreciate the help. Made more sense whilst writing my assessment. Chur!
Well, this site has really gone off the rails. Used to be it was one of the first sites for consistently good massage videos. Now I don’t know what it’s trying to be.
Time to pack it up, I think.
thanks! It really helped alot! I have a test tomrrow at my school
Thank you for explaining it so well! My teacher could learn a thing from you
Good animation and content, but sound is a little “spluttery”. Otherwise great.
Extremely helpful. Took me a while to find this video and I’m so happy I did!
Great examples! Really explained simply and well and didn’t go too fast. Thank you!
Thank you soooooo much!! In my nine months in massage class I never understood till now. I hope I could pass my mblex next time
broski,you no way english dont try spell word it make no senes. you sound like person on tech support call me my homee
Next time please get someone to narrate who can pronounce all of the terminology correctly, who can speak CLEARLY and at a slightly slower pace. The sound quality can be a lot better too
The quadriceps are located at the front of the femur (not tibia), do correct it sir
absolutely love this video! sooo helpful! i wish i found this sooner:)
Bi-ceps / triceps are easy agonist/antagonists to understand. What about Deltoid muscle?
What would it;s antagonist be?
Good use of information, it’s good for education but be more precise on your fonts and talking, sometimes it’s illegible.
Very informative video, but speaking and graphics went far too quickly. Also I think that the diagrams need to be clearer as otherwise the video is perfect for school children.
Hi could you describe and give example of fixator muscle and neutralizer muscle thanks alot
I totally didn’t get this in class but now I do, thank you so much!
0:20 to 0:50 is wrong… agonist or antagonist can both flex or extend a joint. E.g. if bicep is agonist then tricep is antagonist and if tricep is agonist then bicep is antagonist. As such, agonist can both flex or extend, depending on the muscle we are talking about (and same with the antagonist).
Thank you, im having a biomechanics test tommorow for p.e, this will definitely help me.
great video! try next time making the video more flowing rather than yu know not really flowing! it helped me though thanks anyway
Text was difficult to follow from all the font changes, but was quite helpful, thanks.
Forgive me if I dare but I think the abs are the antagonist of the glutes or am I wrong?
thanks for the help mate really helped with my level 3 diploma
yeah i got a test as well for the exercise science program… ughh
Awesome! Thank you for posting this video. I appreciate your time doing it.
Thank you, I appreciate how simply you explain. I’m using your videos to help with yoga teacher training.
thank you although next time, can we be less puritanical and not photoshop the crotch?
