Eccentric

What is isometric contraction?

Internal torque equals external torque.

What is concentric contraction?

What is an agonist muscle?

Muscle or muscle is most related to initiation of a movement.

What is an antagonist muscle?

Opposite action of the agonist.

What is a synergist muscle?

Muscles working together to produce movement or neutralize another movement.

What is a force couple?

Two or more muscles producing forces in different linear directions but the same rotary direction. Ex. Hip flexor and low back extensors.

What is the purpose of a lever?

Convert a force into a torque.

What are the three types of levers?

What is a second class lever?

AOR at one end of a bone. Internal Force has greater leverage than external force. Lift heavier.


Ex. Calf muscle to perform heel raise. Wheelbarrow.


Rare.

What is a third class lever?
