What is a Rowing Machine?
Biceps
 The LifeCORE rowing machine
is a machine that is used to
prepare athletes for racing
against others on lakes, rivers or
oceans. The sport can be both
recreational, focusing on learning
the required techniques, or
competitive where over-all
fitness plays a large role. The
rowing machine works and
strengths multiple muscle groups
and is one of the leading seated
cardio-vascular exercise.
Pectoralis Major
 The percotarils major is a thick,
fan-shaped muscle situated at the
chest of the body. It is primarily
responsible for movement of the
shoulder joint. The 1st action, is
flexion of the humurus, 2nd it
adducts the humurus, 3rd it
rotates the humurus medially,
and finally it aids in deep
respiration.
Cardiac Muscles
Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary
striated muscle found in the walls in
foundation of the heart. Unlike skeletal
muscle, cardiac muscle requires
extracellular calcium ions for contracture
to occur. They aid the heart by
circulation the blood throughout the
body to bring nutrients and oxygen to
the individual muscles.
 The biceps brachii comes from a
Latin phrase meaning “ two-
headed muscles of the arm” in
reference to the fact that the
muscle consists of two bundles
of muscles sharing a common
insertion point near the elbow
joint. The most important
function of the biceps is to
supinate the forearm and flex the
elbow.
Abdominal Muscles
The abdominal muscles have different
important functions: they provide
movement and support to the upper body
and assist in the breathing process. Also,
these muscles serve as protections for
the inner organs. Furthermore, together
with the back muscles, the provide
postural support and are important in
defining the form.
Quadriceps Femoris
 Quadriceps Femoris is a large
muscle group that includes the
four prevailing muscles on the
front the thigh. It is the strongest
and leanest muscle in the human
body and is responsible for
extending the knee joint, flexing
the hip, and stabilizing the patella
and knee joint.
Latissimus Dorsi

 Latitissimus Dorsi meaning “

broadest muscle of the back” is
the larger, flat muscle on the
back, posterior to the arm. This
muscle helps in the
extension,adduction,horizontal
abduction, and internal rotation
of the shoulder joint.it also plays
a role in the extension and lateral
flexion of the lumbar spine.

Gluteus Medius

 the gluteus medius is the top

most of the three gluteal
muscles, and is broad, thick, and
situated on the outer surface of
the pelvis. This muscle plays a
role in the abduction of the thigh
and the internal and external
rotation of the thigh.
Additionally, it supports the
pelvis and prevents it from
dropping to the opposite side
while is an unstable position.

Triceps Surae

 The triceps surae is the pair of

the muscles located at the calf
nearest the midline. These
muscles insert into the calcaneus
and from what is commonly
known as the calf muscle. These
two muscles work together to
primarily stabilize the ankle and
help while walking,running,and
jumping.
