FITNESS PROFESSIONALS’ GUIDE TO MUSCULOSKELETAL ANATOMY AND HUMAN MOVEMENT – MOVEMENT ANALYSIS

* * *

Exercise Examples

In this section, movement analyses are provided for 13 exercises. Each analysis is first divided into the major movements involved in the lifting and lowering phases of the exercise. Then, each movement is divided into the motions that occur at the moving and primary stabilizing joints. The joint motions are ranked numerically according to the importance they play in performing the actual exercise. Next to each joint motion is the muscle group primarily responsible for the motion, and the type of contraction that the muscle group listed performs during the motion occurring at that particular joint. The companion CD software includes a very similar analysis for over 300 exercises in its database.

To get the names of the individual muscles that are part of a muscle group listed for a joint motion, refer to the prior section of this chapter, which lists all the muscles involved for each body action. For example, in the dumbbell fly shown in this section, the main muscle group listed for arm horizontal adduction is the arm horizontal adductors. Referring to arm horizontal adductors in the previous section, it can be seen that the muscles that are prime movers for this motion are the coracobrachialis, pectoralis major, deltoid anterior, and latissimus dorsi (during initiation of the joint movement).
