1. Is the down phase the concentric or eccentric phase? Eccentric 2. Hips: do they flex or extend? The Hips are Flexed 3. Which muscles are the prime movers here? Are they acting concentrically or eccentrically as prime movers? Hint: there are four. The Hips are Concentrically, and the muscles are gluteus maximus, semimembranosus, semitendinosus and the biceps femoris. 4. Knees: flex or extend? Flexed 5. Which muscles are the prime movers here? Are they acting concentrically or eccentrically as prime movers? Hint: there are four. The knees are Concentrically, and the muscles are rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and the vastus lateralis Title: Re: Here are some questions for Kinesiology, thanks!
