The Function Of The Muscular System In Facilitating And
Improving Movement
• Muscles that are needed to create movement for exercise and sport are
VOLUNTARY MUSCLES – GROSS and FINE MOTOR SKILLS.
• When muscles increase in size it is known as MUSCLE HYPERTROPHY
Information/Discussion
• When people lose muscle mass, it is known as ATROPHY.

Muscle Fibres
• All muscles have a mixture of fast and slow twitch fibres.
• The mix is inherited, but both types can be trained to function
better.
Information/Discussion
Practical Application
Links
• The type of muscle fibre can often determine performance in
different physical activities.
• Muscle action in all physical activity/ sport requires a contribution
from each muscle fibre type.

MUSCLES IN ACTION
• Muscles can PULL by CONTRACTION: they cannot push.
• Muscles NEVER work alone – they always work in pairs or
groups.
Information/Discussion
• As one muscle contracts, another will relax.
Practical Application
Links
Diagram/Table
• These pairs of muscles are called ANTAGONISTIC PAIRS.
• The muscles that bring the bones together are the PRIME
MOVERS or AGONISTS (they cause the contraction).
• The opposite to this are the ANTAGONISTIC muscles – those
which relax.

MUSCLES IN ACTION
• Other muscles called SYNERGISTS contract at the same time as
the AGONIST to help it work smoothly – stop unnecessary
movement.
Information/Discussion
• FIXATORS are muscles which contract to steady parts of the
body to allow the working muscles a firm base.
Practical Application
Links
• Muscles have two ends and these are attached to bones by
TENDONS.
1) The end that attaches to the FIXED bone is called the ORIGIN.
Diagram/Table
2) The other end is called the INSERTION and is attached to the
MOVING bone.

MUSCLES AND JOINTS AS LEVERS
All levers have the same characteristic:
P/F PIVOT or FULCRUM

strain of one moving away from
another.
L/R LOAD or RESISTANCE
– Body weight or external weight.

– A muscular force to move the load.

Muscle tone can be seen when muscles are in a
state of slight tension and they are ready for action
Information/Discussion

• Regular training tones muscles and helps to create good
posture (the way the body is held in position).
• Muscles will hypertrophy (increase in size).

• Muscle tone developed by regular exercise makes daily tasks
such as shopping and gardening easier. It also helps to prevent
injury, as good posture reduces the strain on muscles; tendons
and ligaments.
• Good posture helps with sporting performance as special
positions are often crucial to success, e.g. the position
throughout the golf swing. People with good posture also feel
better about themselves. An upright body position is often a sign
of self confidence. People who are less confident will sometimes
show this in their body language, e.g. by adopting a slouched
posture.
