This may imply that exercises with peak contractions at different points in the total
shoulder flexion range of motion (both with arms at the horizontal and with arms close to the sides) are necessary in order to work all muscle fibers to a similar extent.
Keuchle et al. (1997) reports the change in moment arm length with the change in
shoulder flexion range of motion.
Ackland et al. (2008) showed that the inferior sternocostal fibers produce large moment arms throughout full
shoulder flexion range of motion that is highest around the mid-range but remains high at 120 degrees (arms above head).

Ankles become loose from the repetitive
flexion and extension of kicking, hips gain greater
range of motion from the undulations in butterfly and breastroke, and
shoulders hyper - rotate from the repetitive circling of the arm in every stroke.

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.
While the bench press produces superior muscle activity compared to the
shoulder press despite similar elbow
flexion ranges of motion, it appears the load lifted is also greater, thus indicating that greater loads produce superior triceps muscle activity during compound exercises with similar elbow joint
range of motion.
Ackland et al. (2008) reported that the peak moment arm length of the latissimus dorsi was displayed in a wide
range between 10 — 71 degrees of
shoulder flexion depending on the muscle region measured.
