Sentences with phrase «in elbow flexion»

Not exact matches

Hammer curls are a perfect low - intensity exercise for building of the brachialis, which is an important muscle in the upper arm that's activated during isometric elbow flexion.

Keep plenty of flexion in your elbow.

Furthermore, the short head appears to be more active in the latter part of an arm curl (i.e. greater elbow flexion) while the long head is more active in the early phase.

EMG studies of the long head of the biceps brachii show that muscle fibers in the lateral portion of the muscle are recruited for elbow flexion, fibers in the medial aspect are recruited for supination, and centrally located fibers are recruited for non-linear combinations of flexion and supination.

They're called hip flexors because they create flexion in the hip, which is the technical term for a bending movement around a joint in a limb (such as the knee or elbow) that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint.

They're called hip flexors because they create flexion in the hip, which is the technical term for a bending movement around a joint in a limb that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint (such as the knee or elbow).

In the next phase, you're going to start at the top and lower the bar to just above the sticking point (which is usually 90 degrees of elbow flexion).

In the sagittal plane, the short and long head of the biceps perform elbow flexion and displays its greatest force producing potential with the elbow flexed at 90 degrees.

Upper body pressing exercises typically include elbow extension in addition to horizontal flexion — i.e. bench pressing — or shoulder flexion — i.e. shoulder pressing.

This is likely due to the vertical displacement of the bar at the start of the sticking point and resulting shoulder abduction and elbow flexion angles, and therefore, the sticking region of unsuccessful attempts starts earlier in the ascending phase compared with successful lifts.

Nevertheless, it seems that the moment arm length of the triceps decreases gradually in a linear fashion as elbow flexion increases.

As the elbow moves from 30 degrees of flexion (semi-straight) to 110 degrees (nearly completely flexed) the moment arm length decreased in a linear fashion.

In support of this, Sugisaki et al. (2010) reported that the triceps displayed a peak moment arm (length = 23.9 mm) at 30 degrees of elbow flexion and a minimum moment arm (length = 17.4 mm) at 110 degrees of elbow flexion.

The elbow joint consists of three bones (humerus = upper arm bone, radius and ulna = forearm bones) that fit together perfectly to allow flexion and extension motion in the front leg.

The elbow is formed in such a way as to allow flexion, extension and rotation of the limb.
