Basic Muscles Explanation
The pectoralis major is a big muscle that covers all the chest. It arises from the frontal border of the clavicle and runs alongside the sternon. The pectoralis major hides beneath the minor.
Muscles & Joint Actions
The pectoral stretches when the arm that is behind body opens out (external shoulder rotation) or by expanding the thoraxic cage. In any of the stretches, the pectoral elongation is obtained by the union of the shoulder scapula to the spine.
Sport Uses
Pectoral elasticity is important in many sports, like gymnastics with machines or swimming. Also this motion is present in raquet sports, volleyball and basketball, when lifting arms in position to throw or hit.
