Not exact matches

You'll finish off with side - lying hip adduction, which primarily targets the adductor longus muscle but also works the adductor minimus and brevis.

The majority of studies seem to support the claim that the dumbbell bench press is a better option for anyone looking to increase his chest size, mainly because of the greater range of motion involved — a greater range of motion on pressing movements means more horizontal flexion and adduction and a greater recruitment of chest muscle fibers.

Being close to the deltoid muscle, the clavicular head significantly contributes to flexion, horizontal adduction and inward rotation of the humerus, and is best engaged with exercises which involve shoulder flexion and movements that end with your elbows above your clavicle.

In general, it seems that compound exercises that involve carrying an external load with a flexed trunk (as in deadlift or bent - over row), shoulder adduction or shoulder extension (as in horizontal rows, pull - ups and lat pull - downs) all produce very high trapezius muscle activity.

The hip muscles act on three mutually perpendicular main axes, all of which pass through the center of the femoral head, resulting in three degrees of freedom and three pair of principal directions: Flexion and extension around a transverse axis (left - right); lateral rotation and medial rotation around a longitudinal axis (along the thigh); and abduction and adduction around a sagittal axis (forward - backward); [29] and a combination of these movements (i.e. circumduction, a compound movement in which the leg describes the surface of an irregular cone).

The glutes are powerful muscles, whose role is hip extension and adduction.

They can be done for a range of different shoulder movmements to strengthen the muscles around the entire joint including adduction, abduction, flexion, extension and rotation.

«The adduction, abduction and focus on pelvic strength is hugely important because these muscles help to create that true balance between the strong outer hips, glutes and core,» Speir says.

In direct contrast, the pectoralis major has a very large shoulder horizontal adduction moment arm length, making it easily the most effective muscle for moving in the opposite direction.

Hip abduction - adduction — Greater hip abduction leads to greater gluteus medius muscle activity during multi-joint hip extension movements

The muscle moment arms in adduction for the adductor magnus exceed those of hip extension, showing that this muscle is still definitively a hip adductor as well as a hip extensor.

Indeed, the pectoralis major has longer moment arm lengths for shoulder horizontal adduction (also called shoulder horizontal flexion) than any of the other chest muscles, indicating it is the prime mover for this action (Keuchle et al. 1997).

Such weakness in the ratio of hip adduction to hip abduction may be related to increased hip adductor to hip abductor muscle activity (Morrissey et al. 2012).

Some shoulder rehabilitation exercises appear to target the deltoid muscles to a greater extent (internal rotation, arm elevation and horizontal abduction), while others can be used to reduce the muscle activity (arm frontal and horizontal adduction).
