Chapter 4: Muscle grouping?
[QUOTE=Bradster101190;696574041]
First all you need to know is each muscles isolated function and whats even better is you can GROUP THEM..this basically gets all those pages.Allso remember to walk all these out so it will stick much faster, you can learn them in 2-3 days.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hamstring group -Accelerates knee flexion and hip extension..( Grouped them all together instead of learning every little muscle)
Quadricep Group-Knee Extension and Hip Flexion( grouped them as well)
Gluteus Maximus -hip extension and external rotation
Latissimus Dorsi-Shoulder extension, abduction and internal rotation
Rhomboids-Scapular retraction and downward rotation.
Biceps Brachi-Elbow flexion , shoulder flexion and supination of radioulnar joint
Triceps-Elbow and shoulder extension
Serratus Anterior- Scapular Protraction
Solues and Gastrocnemius-Plantarflexion
Rectus Abdominis- Spinal flexion, lateral flexion and rotation

Thanks for a great thread! I'm currently studying for the NASM exam and I had a question about how to group the muscles in chapter 4. Would you recommend grouping each section (lower leg complex, hip musculature, abdominal musculature, etc..) or just the ones you posted previously? I've never studied human anatomy so it's completely new to me. Any advice would help! Thanks in advance!
