The LifeCORE rowing machine is a machine that is used to prepare
athletes for racing against others on lakes, rivers or oceans. The sport can
be both recreational, focusing on learning the required techniques, or
competitive where over-all fitness plays a large role. The rowing machine
works and strengths multiple muscle groups and is one of the leading seated
cardio-vascular exercise.

 PECTORALIS MAJOR

The percotarils major is a thick, fan-

shaped muscle situated at the chest of
the body. It is primarily responsible
for movement of the shoulder joint.
The 1st action, is flexion of the
humurus, 2nd it adducts the humurus,
3rd it rotates the humurus medially, and
finally it aids in deep respiration.
 CARDIAC MUSCLES

Cardiac muscle is a type of

involuntary striated muscle found in
the walls in foundation of the heart.
Unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle
requires extracellular calcium ions for
contracture to occur. They aid the heart
by circulation the blood throughout the
body to bring nutrients and oxygen to
the individual muscles.
 BICEPS

The biceps brachii comes from a

Latin phrase meaning “ two-headed
muscles of the arm” in reference to the
fact that the muscle consists of two
bundles of muscles sharing a common
insertion point near the elbow joint.
The most important function of the
biceps is to supinate the forearm and
flex the elbow.
 ABDOMINAL MUSCLES

The abdominal muscles have

different important functions: they
provide movement and support to the
upper body and assist in the breathing
process. Also, these muscles serve as
protections for the inner organs.
Furthermore, together with the back
muscles, the provide postural support
and are important in defining the form.
