Learning Objectives . . .

By the end of this lesson you will understand . .

• . . . . How muscles work.

• . . . . . What ANTAGONIST, AGONIST and SYNERGISTS muscles are.

Page 4: GCSE P.E Lesson 3 Muscles. HOW MUSCLES WORK (PART 1)

How muscles work

• Muscles work in pairs or groups.• This is called antagonistic muscle

action.

ANTAGONISTIC MUSCLE ACTION =

MUSCLES WORKING IN PAIRS/GROUPS.

Page 5: GCSE P.E Lesson 3 Muscles. HOW MUSCLES WORK (PART 1)

Example 1 – biceps and triceps.

• The biceps and triceps work together to flex and extend the arm.

Page 6: GCSE P.E Lesson 3 Muscles. HOW MUSCLES WORK (PART 1)

Example – biceps and triceps.

FLEXION at the elbow =

• Biceps CONTRACT (shortens)

• Triceps RELAX (lengthens)

EXTENSION at the elbow =

• Biceps RELAX (lengthens)

• Triceps CONTRACT (shortens)

Page 7: GCSE P.E Lesson 3 Muscles. HOW MUSCLES WORK (PART 1)

Always remember . . . . . .

CONTRACTING = muscle SHORTENING

RELAXING = muscle LENGTHENING

Page 8: GCSE P.E Lesson 3 Muscles. HOW MUSCLES WORK (PART 1)

Example 2 – Quadriceps and Hamstrings

FLEXION at the knee =

• Which muscle shortens/contracts?• Which muscle lengthens/relaxes?

EXTENSION at the knee =

• Which muscle shortens/contracts?• Which muscle lengthens/relaxes?

Page 9: GCSE P.E Lesson 3 Muscles. HOW MUSCLES WORK (PART 1)

Antagonist and Agonist muscles

• The working muscle is the prime mover = the AGONIST.

• Remember the working muscle will be tired – AGONY!

• The relaxing muscle = ANTAGONIST

SYNERGISTS• The prime mover (main working

muscle) is helped by other muscles.• These are called SYNERGISTS. • They contract at the same time as

the main working muscle.• They hold the body in position so

that the prime mover can work smoothly.

SYNERGISTS = A muscle that assists another muscle to accomplish a movement.

DO YOU KNOW THE NEW TERMINOLOGY?

PRIME MOVER? ANTAGONIST?

AGONIST?

SYNERGISTS? CONTRACTING = ?

RELAXING = ? ANTAGONISTIC MUSCLE ACTION?
