In a more detailed way, the hamstrings cross and act upon two joints, the hip and knee (--------------). The Semitendinosus and the Semimembranosus extend the hip when the trunk is fixed. The two muscles also bend the knee and rotate the lower leg when the knee is bent. As for the Bicep Femoris, a good example to explain its function is when an individual is walking. The long head of the bicep femoris ends the hip as we begin to walk.
Size of muscle cells and the ability of nerves to activate them are related to muscle strength. Fitness training method: The perfect fitness training method for this specific component of fitness would be core stability training. Core stability training trains and builds core, muscles, which are lower and upper back muscles. This type of training helps to maintain body balanced.

Test- Chin ups test, doing certain amounts of chin ups in 1 minute’s time. This test shows how much chin ups are sportiest capable of doing.

Ligaments help provide their stability and muscles contract to produce movement. The most common synovial joints are listed below: * Ball and socket joints, like your hip and shoulder joints, are the most mobile type of joint in the human body. They allow you to swing your arms and legs in many different directions * Ellipsoidal joints, such as the joint at the base of your index finger, allow bending and extending, rocking from side to side, but rotation is limited * Gliding joints occur between the surfaces of two flat bones that are held together by ligaments. Some of the bones in your wrist and ankles move by gliding against each other * Hinge joints, like in your knee and elbow, enable movement similar to the opening and closing of a hinged door * The pivot joint in your neck allows you to turn your head from side to side * The only saddle joints in your body are in your thumbs. The bones in a saddle joint can rock back and forth and from side to side, but they have limited rotation Bones

3. Muscular endurance This is the ability to repeat an activity for a length of time without getting tired. A good fitness test for this component is press ups or sit ups. Muscle endurance tests can often be done at home with little assistance. These tests use basic exercises, such as push-ups and sit-ups.
