Summative assessment for Major MUSCLE MASS

Front

What are the major muscle groups in the human body?

Back

The major muscle groups include the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, chest, back, shoulders, biceps, and triceps.

Front

What is the primary function of the Biceps Brachii?

Back

The primary function of the Biceps Brachii is to flex the elbow joint and supinate the forearm.

Front

What is muscle hypertrophy?

Back

Muscle hypertrophy is the increase in the size of muscle fibers, typically as a result of strength training.

Front

What is one benefit of increasing major muscle mass through strength training?

Back

Improved metabolism, which helps in burning more calories even at rest.

Front

Which exercise primarily targets the quadriceps?

Back

The squat primarily targets the quadriceps.

Front

What role do the hamstrings play in leg movement?

Back

The hamstrings are responsible for flexing the knee and extending the hip.

Front

What is the function of the Deltoids?

Back

The Deltoids are responsible for shoulder abduction, flexion, and extension.

Front

What is the primary muscle targeted by the deadlift?

Back

The deadlift primarily targets the muscles in the back, including the erector spinae.

Front

What is the significance of core muscles in strength training?

Back

Core muscles stabilize the body and support proper posture during exercises.

Front

What is the difference between isotonic and isometric exercises?

Back

Isotonic exercises involve movement (e.g., lifting weights), while isometric exercises involve muscle contraction without movement (e.g., planks).
