Explain what happens at the shoulders and elbows as you push yourself from the bottom position to the top position of the push up. Identify the actions that occur at each joint and identify the prime mover(s) that are responsible for causing those actions.
Madhur L.
Perform an analysis of the push-up. The exercise is separated into two movements, starting in the prone position: 1. Movement to the up position and 2. Return movement to the down phase. Phase 1: What type of movement occurs at each upper extremity joint? What muscles are activated at each joint and what type of contraction? Identify the axis of rotation, plane of motion, and joint action. The joints include: wrist, elbow, shoulder, and shoulder girdle Phase 2: What type of movement occurs at each upper extremity joint? What muscles are activated at each joint and what type of contraction? Identify the axis of rotation, plane of motion, and joint action. The joints include: wrist, elbow, shoulder, and shoulder girdle

List the muscles used as agonists, antagonists, stabilizers, and neutralizers during the performance of a push-up.
