the agonist muscle or prime mover is the gluteus maximus in hip extention and in hip flexion the hip flexors is the agonist muscle.
Vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris. Together, they are the quadriceps femoris.

Exercises that trigger your butt muscle?
hip flexion and hip extention
One of the prime movers for flexion at the hips?
The prim mover for hip flexion is the Rectus femoris. This is a quadricep muscle that crosses the hip joint.
What muscle is the antagonist during extension of forearm?
The flexor carpi radialis is the agonist muscle in wrist flexion. This muscle, know as a wrist flexor, is located in the forearm.
What is the agonist and antagonist muscle pair in the wrist?
The agonist muscle for wrist flexion is the flexor carpi radialis, while the antagonist muscle is the extensor carpi radialis longus. These muscles work in opposition to produce movement at the wrist joint.
What is the synergist muscle in a sit up?
Technically speaking it's the abs. The agonist muscle in a situp is actually the hip flexors.
What does the Tensia fascia late muscle do?
the tensia fascia muscle does abduction, medial rotation and flexion of the hip joint
What is the function of the longest muscle?
Function of the sartorius is flexion of the hip and knee joints. It is also called as 'Tailor's muscle'.
What is the Agonist and antagonist in trunk flexion?
In trunk flexion, the agonist is the rectus abdominis muscle, which contracts to flex the trunk forward. The antagonist is the erector spinae muscles, which lengthen to allow the trunk to flex.
What types of exercises are plantar flexion hip flexion hip extension knee flexion and side leg raises?
balance
What typed of exercises are plantar flexion hip flexion hip extensions knee flexion and side leg raises?
balance
What are examples of reverse muscle action of the human body?
The rectus femoris THe regular Muscle Action is hip flexion with knee extension, as in kicking a ball or doing a straight leg raise The reverse muscle action is still hip flexion with knee extension, but as in doing sit-ups while lying supine with knes straight ahead
What is the term for biceps brachii during elbow flexion?
prime mover (agonist)Not sure what you're asking here, but the biceps brachii is the prime mover facilitating flexion at the elbow joint.
