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.

Quadriceps Femoris Muscles

Triceps Surae Muscles

 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.
 BICEPS

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 MUSCLES

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.
