Cable pull-down exercise to the front with a medium-width overhand (pronated) grip. The pull-down exercise is a strength training exercise designed to develop the latissimus dorsi muscle. It performs the functions of downward rotation and depression of the scapulae combined with adduction and extension of the shoulder joint.
The history of sport psychology dates back to almost 200 years ago, with Carl Friedrich Koch's (1830) publication of Calisthenics from the Viewpoint of Dietetics and Psychology. The first psychology laboratory was established back in 1879 by Wilhelm Wundt, this is where the first experiments of sport psychology were first conducted.
A muscle-up is a pull-up that transitions into a dip, whether on a horizontal bar or rings. An iron cross in which the body is suspended upright while the arms are extended laterally, forming the shape of the Christian cross. Pull-up (exercise)
The muscle-up begins with the arms extended above the head, gripping a hold in the overhand pull-up position. The hold is usually on a chin-up bar or gymnastic rings. The body is then explosively pulled up by the arms in a radial pull-up, with greater speed than a regular pull-up. When the bar approaches the upper chest, the wrists are swiftly ...
Posture is highly affected by muscle length and tension patterns, such as tight hamstring muscles or pectoral muscles, as well as muscle strength (for example, abdominal, glutei, and trapezius strength). The posture of dancers and athletes often improves when they train for their sports. Additionally, breathing patterns affect posture.
Pull up, the process of changing a film from one frame rate to another - see telecine Pull-up jumper , a basketball move in which a player dribble drives, stops and shoots a jump shot Pull up, to stop or slow a racehorse during or after a race or workout
A hook grip provides the lifter with a secure, tight grip by maintaining a pronated position between the palms and barbell [2] similar to the double over grip. When used in the deadlift, the hook grip has a number of advantages. Traditionally, lifters tend to use an alternated grip when working with heavy loads on the deadlift; that is, one ...
The reflexive response to this activation is to pull the leg up and over the obstacle, while also preparing for a possible stumble or fall. Observed EMG muscle responses to SF stimulation help to explain how this reflexive response is accomplished: Increased biceps femoris activity flexes the knee, pulling the leg up and over the obstacle.
