    It is still the agonist, because while resisting gravity during relaxing, the triceps brachii continues to be the prime mover, or controller, of the joint action. Another example is the dumb-bell curl at the elbow. The elbow flexor group is the agonist, shortening during the lifting phase (elbow flexion). During the lowering phase the elbow ...

  3. Squat (exercise) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squat_(exercise)

    The barbell back squat Bodyweight squat. A squat is a strength exercise in which the trainee lowers their hips from a standing position and then stands back up. During the descent, the hip and knee joints flex while the ankle joint dorsiflexes; conversely the hip and knee joints extend and the ankle joint plantarflexes when standing up.

  4. Agonist - Wikipedia

    It might be argued that the endogenous agonist is simply a partial agonist in that tissue. An irreversible agonist is a type of agonist that binds permanently to a receptor through the formation of covalent bonds. [2] [3] A biased agonist is an agent that binds to a receptor without affecting the same signal transduction pathway.

  5. Muscle imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_imbalance

    Muscle balance is necessary for muscles to perform their customary roles and move normally; muscle imbalance occurs when there is a lack of parity between corresponding agonist and antagonist muscles. [1] Muscular imbalance can also arise when a muscle performs outside of its normal physiological muscle function. [2] [3]

    Executive mental function was measured with standard tests, including the ability to say the sequence 1-A, 2-B, 3-C…, to name a number of animals in one minute, and with the Stroop test. [103] The study found that those individuals with lower skeletal muscle mass at the start of the study declined in their executive mental function ...

    Uterus (when pregnant): this is minor compared to the relaxing effects of the β 2 receptor, agonists of which—notably albuterol/salbutamol—were formerly [citation needed] used to inhibit premature labor. Urethral sphincter; Bronchioles (although minor to the relaxing effect of β 2 receptor on bronchioles) Iris dilator muscle [4]

  8. Alpha-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-adrenergic_agonist

    Alpha 2 receptors are associated with sympatholytic properties. Alpha-adrenergic agonists have the opposite function of alpha blockers . Alpha adrenoreceptor ligands mimic the action of epinephrine and norepinephrine signaling in the heart, smooth muscle and central nervous system, with norepinephrine being the highest affinity.

  9. Fly (exercise) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_(exercise)

    The main anatomical planes of the human body, including median (red), parasagittal (yellow), frontal or coronal plane (blue) and transverse or axial plane (green).. A fly or flye is a strength training exercise in which the hand and arm move through an arc while the elbow is kept at a constant angle.
