Quadriceps serve
as synergists muscle if knees are bent slightly during stretch.
Not exact matches
The target is the quads, having
as synergists (a
muscle that assists another
muscle to accomplish a movement) the glutes, inner thigh and calves.
Just focusing on the obvious task — lifting weight up and down — prime movers and
synergist muscles engage, while fixators do not resist the weight properly (due to not focusing on them
as they don't lift the weight directly).
Given its overall length and attachment points, it is likely that the
muscle functions during spinal extension and rotation,
as well
as functioning
as a
synergist to provide mechanical stability to the spine.
Force produced by the prime mover
muscles is greater, because they are working to co-contract with the antagonist and
synergist or stabilizer
muscles in order to hold the body and / or the weights in place,
as well
as move them through space.
