legs, arms, and back muslces
The quadriceps muscles are primarily involved in knee extension.
Muscles within the brachium are responsible for the extension of the elbow. These muscles also work for the flexing of the arm as well.
The muscles involved in hip extension are the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and adductor magnus.
The muscles that produce extension of the finger joints and wrist are the extensor muscles. In the forearm, the specific extensor muscles responsible for extension of the fingers and wrist include the extensor digitorum and extensor carpi radialis muscles.
Back extension primarily works the muscles in the lower back, specifically the erector spinae muscles.
extension, contraction
The primary muscles involved in hip extension are the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings. The primary muscles involved in knee flexion are the hamstrings and the gastrocnemius.
An agonist muscle is a muscle that plays a part in the extension of a muscle. The agonist muscles for a knee extension are the quadriceps and hamstrings.
When using a back extension machine, the correct form to use involves keeping your back straight, engaging your core muscles, and bending at the hips while maintaining a controlled movement.
The back extension exercise strengthens and tones the muscles in your lower back, helping to improve posture and reduce the risk of back pain.
Triceps brachii, aided by anconeus
Extension in muscles refers to the lengthening of muscle fibers. This process is important for muscle function as it allows for movement in joints and helps muscles contract effectively. Extension also helps maintain flexibility and range of motion in the body, which is crucial for activities like sports and daily tasks.
