- Functional roles of muscles
- Agonistic pairs
- Create movement when one muscle relaxes and the other contracts.
- Biceps and Triceps
- Quadriceps and Hamstrings
- Pectorals and latissimus dorsi
- Fixator
- This stabilises the joint throughout a movement,helping to improve the efficiency of the agonist muscle.
- Antagonist
- This opposes the movement of an agonist by relaxing.When this contracts,the limb is restored to its starting position
- Agonist
- The primary instigator of a joint movement.The contraction of the agonist causes the limb of the relevant joint to move
