- B.
The quadriceps is made up of 4 muscles: Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius and Rectus Femoris. These muscles flex the knee.
- C.
The quadriceps is made up of 4 muscles: Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius and Biceps Femoris. These muscles extend the knee.
- D.
The quadriceps is made up of 4 muscles: Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius and Rectus Femoris. These muscles extend the knee.
Correct Answer
D. The quadriceps is made up of 4 muscles: Vastus Medialis, Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius and Rectus Femoris. These muscles extend the knee.Explanation
Quads extend (straighten) the knee, as when kicking a ball or pushing off starting blocks.Rate this question:

These are the hamstrings: semimembranosus, semitendinosus and Biceps Femoris . They are the agonists of knee flexion Is all of this TRUE or FALSE
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true. The hamstrings, which consist of the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and Biceps Femoris muscles, are indeed the agonists of knee flexion. This means that they are primarily responsible for bending the knee joint.Rate this question:

These statements about the hip are TRUE or FALSE. Select the TRUE statements.
- A.
There are 3 adductor muscles: adductor longus, magnus and brevis
- B.
Iliopsoas is the muscle of hip extension
- C.
The only movements possible at the hip are: Flexion, Extension, adduction, Abduction and Rotation
- D.
Gluteus Medius is the agonist of hip abduction
- E.
When you bring your knees up to perform a tuck jump you will be performing hip flexion
- F.
Hip extension involves bending at the hip
- G.
Gluteus Maximus is the agonist of hip extension
Correct Answer(s)
A. There are 3 adductor muscles: adductor longus, magnus and brevis
D. Gluteus Medius is the agonist of hip abduction
E. When you bring your knees up to perform a tuck jump you will be performing hip flexion
G. Gluteus Maximus is the agonist of hip extensionExplanation
The statement "There are 3 adductor muscles: adductor longus, magnus and brevis" is true because these three muscles are indeed adductor muscles of the hip. The statement "Gluteus Medius is the agonist of hip abduction" is true because the gluteus medius muscle is responsible for the abduction of the hip. The statement "When you bring your knees up to perform a tuck jump you will be performing hip flexion" is true because bringing the knees up towards the chest involves hip flexion. The statement "Gluteus Maximus is the agonist of hip extension" is true because the gluteus maximus muscle is the primary muscle responsible for extending the hip.Rate this question:

Pick out the 1 FALSE statement in this information about movement at the SHOULDER JOINT
- A.
A person with their arm by their side has their shoulder extended
- B.
Anterior Deltoid is on the front of the body
- C.
Middle Deltoid is the muscle of shoulder abduction
- D.
A tennis forehand would usually be an example of horizontal flexion
- E.
A butterfly swimmer would be performing circumduction in their arm action
- F.
Lifting your arm forwards and upwards is shoulder flexion
- G.
The bones articulating at the shoulder are humerus and clavicle
- H.
Latissimus Dorsi moves the humerus downwards
- I.
Pectoralis Major helps to pull your arms across your chest
Correct Answer
G. The bones articulating at the shoulder are humerus and clavicleExplanation
The shoulder is the joint with most movement possibilities

Below is an image from the Jan 2011 paper. Choose the three correct answers form the list of possibilities
- A.
Hinge
- B.
Ball and socket
- C.
Iliopsoas
- D.
Gluteus Maximus
- E.
Extension
- F.
Flexion
Correct Answer(s)
B. Ball and socket
C. Iliopsoas
F. FlexionExplanation
The ball and socket joint allows for a wide range of movement in multiple directions, making it one of the correct answers. The iliopsoas is a muscle group that is responsible for flexing the hip joint, which is another correct answer. Flexion refers to the bending of a joint, so it is also a correct answer in this context. The other options, hinge, gluteus maximus, and extension, are not relevant to the given question and are therefore incorrect.Rate this question:

Here is a supplementary question that also refers to the picture of the gymnast:. Pick out the Rotator cuff muscles from the alternatives below.
- A.
Teres Minor
- B.
Sacrospinalis
- C.
Teres Magnus
- D.
Semispinalis
- E.
Subscapularis
Correct Answer(s)
A. Teres Minor
E. SubscapularisExplanation
The rotator cuff muscles are a group of muscles that help stabilize and move the shoulder joint. The teres minor and subscapularis are both part of the rotator cuff muscles. The teres minor is a small muscle located on the back of the shoulder, while the subscapularis is a larger muscle located on the front of the shoulder. These muscles work together with the other rotator cuff muscles to provide stability and control during shoulder movements.Rate this question:
