FUNCTION:
Deltoid – Deltoid muscles help you move your arms in different directions. They also protect and stabilize your shoulder joint. Like
most other muscles in your body, the deltoids are skeletal muscles.
Pectoralis Major – The pectoralis major extends across the upper part of the chest and is attached to a ridge at the rear of the
humerus (the bone of the upper arm). Its major actions are adduction, or depression, of the arm (in opposition to the action
of the deltoideus muscle) and rotation of the arm forward about the axis of the body.
Biceps –  biceps are the flexion and supination (outward rotation) of the forearm. This is facilitated, in part, by the 90-degree rotation of
the muscle as it connects to the radius. Contrary to popular belief, the biceps is not the most powerful flexor of the forearm.
Abdominals – The abdominal muscles support the trunk, allow movement and hold organs in place by regulating internal abdominal
pressure. The deep abdominal muscles, together with muscles in the back, make up your 'core' muscles and help keep your body stable
and balanced, and protects your spine.
Quadriceps – Your quad muscles, or quadriceps femoris, are a group of muscles at the front of your thigh. Together, they contain more
mass than any other muscle group in your body. You use your quads to perform a variety of movements, including kicking, running,
jumping and walking.
Trapezius – The function of the trapezius is to stabilize and move the scapula. The upper fibers can elevate and upwardly rotate the
scapula and extend the neck. The middle fibers adduct (retract) the scapula. The lower fibers depress and aid the upper fibers in upwardly
rotating the scapula.
Triceps – The triceps brachii is a large, thick muscle on the dorsal part of the upper arm. It often appears in the shape of a horseshoe on the
posterior aspect of the arm. The primary function of the triceps is the extension of the elbow joint.
Latissimus Dorsi – Latissimus dorsi works collaboratively with the teres major and pectoralis major to perform actions of the upper
extremity. Together, these muscles will work to adduct, medially rotate, and extend the arm at the glenohumeral joint.
Erector Spinae – The erector spinae muscles lie on each side of the vertebral column and extend alongside the lumbar, thoracic, and
cervical sections of the spine. The erector spinae muscles function to straighten the back and provide for side-to-side rotation.Gluteus
Maximus – The gluteus maximus works with the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles to extend the hip. The muscle also
works in conjunction with the iliopsoas, piriformis, and obturator muscles to externally rotate the hip.
Hamstrings – Your hamstring muscles play a vital role in helping you walk, run, bend your knees and extend your legs. But these
muscles are also very susceptible to injury, especially if you play soccer or football — or do other activities that require a lot of quick stops
and starts.
Gastrocnemius -  The gastrocnemius with the soleus, is the main plantarflexor of the ankle joint. The muscle is also a powerful knee
flexor. It is not able to exert full power at both joints simultaneously, for example when the knee is flexed, gastrocnemius is unable to
generate as much force at the ankle.
