There are three types of muscle in the body: ____ found in the internal organs and blood vessels - this is involuntary ____ – found only in the heart - this is involuntary ____ – attached to the skeleton - this is voluntary ____ muscles are not under our conscious control which means we can't make them contract when we think about it. ____ muscles are under our conscious control so we can move these muscles when we want to. These are the muscles we use to make all the movements needed in physical activity and sport. Muscle - ____ Function - Lifting the arm at the shoulder (this muscle has different parts which flex, extend and abduct the ____ joint) Sporting example - Lifting the arms to block in volleyball; upward arm swing when trampolining Muscle - ____ Function - Shoulder horizontal extension (moving the arms backwards at shoulder level) Sporting example - Preparation phase of an overarm throw or badminton smash Muscle - ____ Function - ____ of the shoulder (moving the arm towards the body); Shoulder horizontal flexion (moving the arms forwards in front of the body) Sporting example - Upwards phase of a press up; rugby player making a ____ Muscle - Triceps Function - ____ of the elbow (____ the arm) Sporting example - Shooting and chest passing in netball (execution phase) Muscle - Biceps Function - ____ of the elbow (____ the arm) Sporting example - Drawing a bow in archery; 'backscratch' position during tennis serve Muscle - ____ Function - ____ of the spine (sitting upwards) Sporting example - Performing a sit up or a forward roll Muscle - ____ Function - ____ of the shoulder (moving the arm down towards the ____ of the body) Sporting example - Hitting in hockey – left shoulder during preparation, right shoulder during execution and recovery Muscle - ____ Function - Hip ____ (moving the femur backwards) Sporting example - Pulling leg back at the hip ____ kicking a ball Muscle - ____ Function - Extension of the knee (____ the leg) Sporting example - Kicking a ball (execution and recovery phase) Muscle - ____ Function - Flexion of the knee (____ the leg) Sporting example - Performing a hamstring curl on a weights machine; preparation phase of a rebound jump in basketball Muscle - ____ Function - Plantar flexion of the ankle (pointing the toes ____) Sporting example - Standing on tiptoe to mark a shot in netball or pointing the toes during a gymnastic or dance move Muscles are attached to bones by ____. Muscles ____ to move our bones by pulling on them. However, muscles can only pull; they cannot ____. This is why they usually work a joint in ____. One muscle of the pair contracts to move the body part, the other muscle in the pair then contracts to return the body part back to the original position. Muscles that work like this are called ____ pairs. In an antagonistic muscle pair as one muscle contracts the other muscle ____ or lengthens. The muscle that is contracting is called the ____ and the muscle that is relaxing or ____ is called the antagonist. Sporting example - when you perform a bicep curl, during the lifting action, the biceps will be the ____ as they contract to produce the movement, while the triceps will be the antagonists as they relax to allow the movement to occur. Whilst lowering the weight the ____ will be the agonist as they contract to produce the movement, while the biceps will be the ____ as they relax to allow the movement to occur. To allow antagonistic pairs to work efficiently, other muscles called ____ assist by supporting and ____ the joint and the rest of the body. The ____ muscle can act as a fixator when the biceps is flexing the ____ joint. The ____ can act as fixators to stabilise the body for ____ and knee movements. In the preparation phase, when a footballer prepares to kick a football, their ____ contract to flex the knee while the quadriceps lengthen to allow the movement. The hamstrings are the agonist and the quadriceps are the ____ In the contact and recovery phase, the ____ contract to ____ the knee while the hamstrings ____ to allow the movement. The quadriceps are the ____ and the hamstrings are now the antagonist The ____ would be acting as fixators.
