Hyperextension of the shoulder is restricted by the range of motion (ROM) of the _____. -
✔✔Anterior deltoid
Seated knee extension on a machine has reduced _____ recruitment versus knee extension that
occurs while standing (closed chain) due to the position of the hip. - ✔✔Rectus femoris
Due to fiber dynamics, activities requiring a combination of elevated force and prolonged duration
preferentially recruit the _____ fibers to perform the work. - ✔✔Type IIa
What muscle works with the gluteus minims and medius to cause hip abduction? - ✔✔Tensor
fascia latae
What muscle is primarily responsible for shoulder adduction? - ✔✔Latissimus Dorsi
