| A "mover" or msucle that causes movement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A muscle that works in opposition to the agonist; a co-contractor. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An agonist that helps the "prime mover", but is secondary in nature. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A muscle that "fixes" or "stabilizes" the body for a movement. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

| Isometric Muscle Contraction |
|
Definition
Same length
No movement
Muscle torque = resistance torque
All x-bridges that are needed are connected
Balances with gravity; cancels out
Acceleration - NA
Small amount of soreness |
|
|
Term
| Concentric Muscle Contraction |
|
Definition
Toward center
Movement: shortening
Muscle torque > resistance torque
Only some of the x-bridges are connected, fewer as speed increases
Resistance is raised in gravity environment
Load is accelerated
Small amout of soreness |
