  1. MUSCLES Muscle (from Latin musculus "little mouse") its function is to produce force and cause motion, either locomotion or movement within internal organs.

  2. Terminology All Muscle Groups Are Paired • Agonist: Prime Mover • Antagonist: Opposite Movement • Muscle movements are paired: i.e. bicep flexion and tricep extension; When performing a push-up which of your arm muscles is the agonist?

  3. Muscle Fiber Types • Type I: slow oxidative fibers (Slow Twitch) • Type IIa: fast oxidative-glycolytic (Intermediate) • Type II: fast glycolytic fibers (Fast Twitch) Which fibers would be used for aerobic activity and which would be used for anaerobic activity? What determines which fiber type you have?

  4. Muscles Groups PECTORALS TRAPEZUIS DELTOIDS BICEPS TRICEPS RECTUS ABDOMINUS LATISSIMUS DORSI OBLIQUES LUMBAR GLUTEALS QUADRICPS HAMSTRINGS ADDUCTORS GASTROCNEMIUS/SOLEUS
