muscle to move.

themselves such as in the stomach, gut, bladder & blood vessels.

Tendons.
Thigh, buttocks, chest, calf/back of lower leg, upper leg at the back of the thigh.
Smooth, skeletal, cardiac.
Muscles pull on bones so must work in pairs. One will contract while the other relaxes e.g
biceps & triceps in the upper arm. The bicep contracts & the elbow bends & vice versa. Paired
contraction is necessary to control movement.
A state of partial contraction when a muscle is not being used.
Hypertrophy - growth, enlargement weight training. Atrophy - wastage, get smaller during
injury.
Back of thigh - flexion.
Fast / slow twitch fibres (see power point slides for properties)
The chest.
Bicep & triceps.
Cardiac muscle.
Hypertrophy - get bigger, store more energy & produce more force. Atrophy - get smaller,
produce less force & prone to injury.
