The adductor longus is a prime adductor and medial rotator of the femur. It is also an assistant mover for flexion at the hip.
Therefore the antagonist muscles are the abductors (apposing adduction), the lateral rotators (apposing medial rotation) and the extensors (apposing flexion).
Primary Abductors: Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus
Assistant Abductors: Tensor Fasciae Latter, Sartorius
Primary Lateral Rotators: Glutteus Maximus, Deep Later Rotator group
Assistant Lateral Rotators: Sartorius, Iliopsoas
Primary Extensors: Hamstrings, Gluteus Maximus
Assistant Extensors: Adductor Magnus (upper fibres)
The antagonist in shoulder extension is the shoulder flexors, which are the muscles responsible for flexing or bending the shoulder joint. They work in opposition to the shoulder extensors, which are the primary movers in shoulder extension.
Extension of the shoulder joint
Agonist = Posterior Deltoid
Antagonist = Latissimus Dorsi

If a prime mover produces flexion its antagonist will be?
If a prime mover produces flexion, its antagonist will be the muscle responsible for producing extension at the same joint. They work in opposition to each other to create movement and stabilize the joint.
What is The muscle responsible for extension of the forearm?
Extension of the forearm at the elbow joint is achieved almost entirely by the triceps brachii but extension of the arm, which actually takes place at the shoulder joint, is achieved by muscles on the back, such as the latissimus dorsi.
What joint connects the arm and shoulder?
The shoulder joint connects the arm to the shoulder. It is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for a wide range of motion, such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation of the arm.
Turbulate the difference between shoulder and elbow joints?
1. Shoulder joint is a synovial(ball and socket) joint. Whereas Elbow is a synovial(hinge) joint 2.Shoulder posses 3 degrees of freedom i.e Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotations. Elbow have 1 degrees of freedom i.e flexion and extension 3.Difference of special structures i.e bursae 4.Shoulder is highly mobile than elbow
What muscles are the antagonist in shoulder circumduction?
The muscles that are involved in the circumduction of the shoulder joint are the pectoralis major, deltoid, supraspinatus, long head of triceps, biceps brachii, subscapularis, infraspinatus, coracobrachialis, teres major and minor and the latissimus dorsi.
What is the agonist antagonist and synergist for tricep extension?
Antagonist: lats Agonist: Abdominals
What is muscle group is the antagonist of shoulder adduction?
the antagonist of adduction is the pectoralis major
What is the agonist and antagonist of the rotation of the shoulder?
anteriordelts andtriceps
What is the antagonist in reverse shoulder fly?
[pectoralis major
What is antagonist for hip extension?
hip extensor, gluteus maximus
Muscle that adducts shoulder and causes extension of the shoulder joint?
The latissimus dorsi muscle is responsible for adducting the shoulder and causing extension of the shoulder joint. It is a large triangular muscle located in the back that helps with various movements of the shoulder and arm.
Shoulder muscle that is the antagonist of the trapezius?
Shoulder adductors. Abduction means moving away from the median plane of the body and adduction means moving towards the median plane of the body.
What are the agonist and antagonist in a triceps extension?
Agonist - Pectoralis Major, Triceps Brachii Antagonist - Bicep Brachii, Latissimus Dorsi
What muscle group is the primary mover of shoulder and elbow extension?
Shoulder extension is controlled by: Long head of the triceps, the last, and the teres major
Muscle that adducts the shoulder and causes extension of the shoulder joints?
latissimus dorsi
Outward extension of the shoulder bone is the?
acromion
Which muscle is the antagonist when performing a dumbbell shoulder press?
Latissimus Dorsi
