Using the following formula, weight-corrected upper arm circumferences were calculated from the upper arm circumferences and studies were made of pull-up scores in three groups of those whose weight-corrected upper arm circumferences were under 26 cm, between 27 and 28cm and over 29 cm ...
The various muscle groups work in a coordinated fashion to control the movements of the human body. The neck muscles of the neck; human muscle systemMuscles of the neck.(more) The motion of the neck is described in terms of rotation, flexion, extension, and side bending (i.e., the ...
Age- related patterns of upper arm muscle and fat area in Turkish children and assessment of nutritional status. Int J Anthropol 2006; 21: 231-239.Gultekin, T., B. Koca Ozer, K. Katayama & G. Akin, Age related patterns of upper arm muscle and fat area in Turkish children and ...
but the most common is the back squat, in which you place a barbell or smith machine bar on your upper back as a means of resistance. Some of the largest muscle groups of the body are worked during the back squat,
trapezius muscle- either of two flat triangular muscles of the shoulder and upper back that are involved in moving the shoulders and arms cowl muscle,musculus trapezius,trapezius skeletal muscle,striated muscle- a muscle that is connected at either or both ends to a bone and so move parts of ...
in which the filaments are arranged irregularly. In vertebrates, all voluntary muscles are striated, and all involuntary muscles are smooth, except forcardiac muscle, which is involuntary but striated. Obliquely striated muscle is found only in some invertebrate groups (the nematodes, annelids, and ...
Recalling the original division of the muscles, controlling the limbs into dorsal and ventral groups allows these muscles to be divided, with a little effort, into dorsal and ventral groups. Dorsal Group Latissimus dorsi is a large superficial muscle that runs from the ilio-lumbar fascia and the...
(Fig. 1J and K). Muscles are organized into three proximal-distal groups associated with the upper arm/thigh, forearm/shank, and hand/foot, and each of these groups has a dorsal subdivision that extends or ventral subdivision that flexes the limb (Fig. 5). Compared with other regions of...
such as walking. The weakness of individual muscles or groups of muscles can be quantified by using amyometer, which measures force based on a hydraulic or electronic principle. Recordings of contraction force over a period of time are valuable in determining whether the weakness is improving or ...
Participants' body weight, height, limb circumferences (upper arm, thigh, and calf), waist circumference, and skinfold thicknesses (triceps, thigh, and calf) were measured by trained testers. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: a model-development group (MD group) and a ...
