1. Kinesiology is the study of: human movement
2. Trapezius: Elevates, depresses, retracts, and rotates the scapula; rotates the arm
3. latissimus dorsi: Extends, adducts, and medially rotates the arm; draws the shoulder downward and
backward
4. teres major: extends, adducts, and medially rotates arm
5. Teres minor: laterally rotates arm, adducts & extends shoulder. It's 1 of the 4 rotator cuff muscles
6. Supraspinatus: Abducts the shoulder & it's one of the 4 rotator cuff muscles
7. Subscapularis: medial rotation at shoulder & it's one of the 4 rotator cuff muscles
