Study Notes
Bicep Curls and Osteokinematics
- The exercise being performed is bicep curls, targeting the biceps brachii muscle.
- The ventral (anterior) surface refers to the front side of the body, correlating to the forearm and arm in this context.
- When the lifter approximates the ventral surface of his forearm with the ventral surface of his arm, he's engaging in flexion at the elbow joint.
- Flexion is characterized by decreasing the angle between the two body parts—in this case, the forearm and the upper arm.
- This movement involves the activation of the biceps brachii and other synergistic muscles like brachialis and brachioradialis.
- Proper execution in bicep curls focuses on maintaining a controlled motion to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness.
