Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page overview of the various muscles of the human body that function in weightlifting activities. The author contends that hundreds of muscles in all could be in involved but points out that the most important of these muscles from a kinesiological standpoint are the skeletal muscles that function either in extension or flexation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Weight lifting can be significantly improved through the utilization of kinesiological analysis. By knowing what points to emphasize in athletic instruction, accurately diagnosing difficulties and correcting
errors the kinesiologist can successfully intervene to ensure optimal athletic performance (Valentine and Valentine, 1989). Weight lifting, of course, involves a number of the bodys muscles and these are
one of the main foci of kinesiologists. These muscles include, of course, obvious muscles such those in the arms and the chest but they also include less obvious muscles
such as the leg muscles and even the ankle muscles. There are basically three types of muscle tissue in the human body.
These types include skeletal muscle, visceral muscle, and cardiac muscle (Anthony and Thibodeau, 1983). It is the skeletal muscles to which kinesiology devotes the most attention. These muscles
function in body locomotion and in activities such as weight lifting. The five major muscle groups of the body are the chest, the back, the arms and shoulders, the
abdominals, and the legs and buttocks. The arms and legs are further subdivided into upper and lower limb muscles. Skeletal muscles are
classified as such because of their attachment to the various parts of an animals skeleton (Hickman Hickman and Hickman, 1974). They are responsible for the movement of these various
body parts and are typically extremely long with cylindrical multinucleated cells packed into bundles called fascicles and enclosed by tough connective tissues (Hickman Hickman and Hickman, 1974). The fascicles
are grouped into discrete muscles which are separated from one another by thin layers of connective tissue (Hickman Hickman and Hickman, 1974). It is these muscles to which
