støttemuskulatur
Støttemuskulatur is a Danish term that translates to "support musculature" or "stabilizing muscles" in English. It refers to a group of muscles that are primarily responsible for maintaining posture, stabilizing joints, and providing a stable base for more powerful movements. Unlike prime movers, which generate the force for a specific action, støttemuskulatur works to counteract unwanted movements and maintain proper alignment.
These muscles are often located deep within the body, close to the bones and joints they support.
The proper functioning of støttemuskulatur is crucial for efficient movement, injury prevention, and overall musculoskeletal health.
