what are the agonists, synergists and anatognist of a push up during eccentric and concentric phase of a push up?
concentric phase of a push up:
body section | joint movement occurring | agonists | antagonists | synergists |
shoulder joint | horizontal shoulder adduction | |||
shoulder girdle | shoulder abduction (protraction) | |||
elbow joint | elbow extension | |||
wrist joint | wrist flexion (isometric contraction) |
eccentric phase of a push up:
body section | joint movement occurring | agonists | antagonists | synergists |
shoulder joint | horizontal shoulder abduction | |||
shoulder girdle | shoulder adduction (retraction) | |||
elbow joint | elbow flexion | |||
wrist joint | wrist flexion (isometric contraction) |
