Expert Solution

ANS) Antagonist muscles are the muscles that play a part in the movement and controlling motions. The muscles that relax are called anatgonist and the muscles that contract are called agonist.

Thus, the antagonist muscles involved in resistance training exercises:

Lying Neck flexion are: Levator scapula, Splenius capitis, Upper trapezius and Splenius cervicis, as they help in backward moving of the neck.

Lateral neck flexion are: Scalenes, Contralateral upper trapezius and Levator scapula, as they in sideways movement of the neck

Dead bugs are: Levator scaoula, Contralateral upper trapezius and Scalenes when legs are lifted and Biceps, Brachioradialis and Brachialis when hands are lifted.

Bicycle crunch are: Quads when stomach is pressed during crunches, Anconeus, triceps and hamstrings when legs are pulled upward and levator scapula, splenius cervivis, Upper trapezius, Splenius capitis when neck is pulled forward.

Highlight 3 different resistance training exercises that could be used to overload muscles of the hand and forearm contributing to differing types of grip strength Please justify why such exercises would be beneficial and put them into a practical scenario (training for sport, rehabilitation, bodybuilding, anti-aging..... etc). You may select exercises that primarily target other joints and muscle groups as long as they still provide sufficient enough stimulus to the forearm, wrist, and hand to improve grip strength
