flexion from 0 degrees (with the arms reaching out sideways from the body), the moment arm length increases from approximately 32 mm to 46 mm at 45 degrees.
Increasing plantar -
flexion from 15 to 30 degrees resulted in the moment arm length increasing only slightly.

As a whole (all heads working together), the pectoralis major assists adduction (lowering upper arm
from side raise position to the midline of the body), medial rotation (rotating upper arm forward or inward to the midline of the body) and horizontal
flexion (moving the upper arm
from a side raise position to the front of the body).
Physically, this series focuses on spinal extensions (backbends), which alleviate the tension

Correspondingly, the five phases that can be described between these positions are as follows: (1) the first pull happens between the ground and when the bar reaches knee level and is initiated by knee and hip extension; (2) the transition happens when the barbell is between knee level and the power position and involves a shift in the position of the body relative to the barbell, which involves a brief period of knee
flexion and is therefore referred to as the double knee bend (Enoka, 1979; 1988); (3) the second pull is the most powerful phase of the lift and occurs while the barbell is between the power position and the lifter is in triple extension; (4) turnover occurs as the lifter quickly drops down under the bar
from the triple extension position to the catch position, in a deep front squat; (5) recovery into the standing position occurs as the lifter stands
from the catch position to upright.
So seated plantar
flexion exercises may benefit most
from a focus on type I muscle fibers.
As ankle plantar -

from -15 to 15 degrees, the moment arm length increased linearly.
Assessing in
flexion also removes any additional restriction coming
from the external rotators that cross the hip joint at the front (e.g. iliopsoas, sartorius, pectineus and adductors brevis and magnus).
The lateral (side) deltoid is involved in many of the same movements as the anterior deltoid: abduction (moving the arm away
from the body),
flexion (moving the arm upward to the front), and transverse
flexion (moving the arm across the chest).

flexion categories all appearing in the best exercises category in some but not all studies.
Plantar
flexion is the ankle movement of moving the foot down, pointing the toes away
from the body.
However, noting the significant gain in hip extension in the intervention group
from prelunge to postlunge in the second session and comparing them to the results reported by Macdonald et al. (6) of immediate gains in knee
flexion angle post foam rolling, it is reasonable to conclude that the effects of foam rolling are immediate, even in a dynamic movement, but do not remain for longer bouts of time.
In general, it seems that exercises
from the knee
flexion category (i.e. leg curls) almost always feature as one of the best exercises, while exercises
from the hip extension and knee extension category (i.e. squats) never feature as one of the best exercises.
Key shoulder movements that involve the pectoralis major include shoulder horizontal adduction (moving the arms together in the transverse plane at shoulder height), shoulder adduction (moving the arms down to the sides,

The external oblique extends
from the front of the lateral pelvis to the side of the lower ribs and thus is highly active during spine rotation (McGill et al. 1991) and lateral
