Body anatomy
The pectoral muscles control movements like pushing and bringing the arms together in front of the body. They play a crucial role in actions such as lifting, pushing, and throwing.
The deltoids facilitate a wide range of arm movements, including lifting, rotating, and extending the arms. They are crucial for shoulder stability and upper body strength.
Quadriceps extend the knee, hamstrings flex the knee and extend the hip, and calves support foot and ankle movements.
These muscles are responsible for pulling movements, supporting posture, and stabilizing the spine. They are essential for actions like pulling, rowing, and lifting.
Biceps control elbow flexion, while triceps are responsible for elbow extension. The forearms support grip strength and fine motor skills.
The core muscles stabilize the torso, support posture, and enable bending, twisting, and rotational movements.
