Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background:‪Bipedal leg squat is a common rehabilitation exercise. It is used for evaluation of lower limb function and pelvis and core stability. The aim of this study was a comparison of the lower limb, pelvis and spine ranges of motion in subjects with different declared physical activity level during bipedal squat. Material and methods:‪Twenty healthy student-volunteers took part in this investigation. Based on the author’s questionnaire, they were divided into two groups: “higher” and “lower” physical activity level. Participants performed a two-leg squat with maximal depth, and returned to the standing position. The tridimensional motion of the ankle, knee, hip, …


The Effect Of Front And Back Squat Techniques On Peak Loads Experienced By The Achilles Tendon, Jonathan Sinclair, Chris Edmundson, Stephen Atkins, Paul John Taylor, Hayley Vincent Mar 2022

The Effect Of Front And Back Squat Techniques On Peak Loads Experienced By The Achilles Tendon, Jonathan Sinclair, Chris Edmundson, Stephen Atkins, Paul John Taylor, Hayley Vincent

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Background: A primary technique in the discipline of strength and conditioning the squat has two principal ‘back and front’ variants. Despite the physiological and strength benefits of the squat, the propensity for musculoskeletal injury is high. The current investigation examined the influence of the front and back squat variations on the load experienced by the Achilles tendon. Material/Methods: Achilles tendon loads were obtained from eighteen experienced male participants as they completed both back and front squats. Differences between squat conditions were examined using Bonferroni adjusted (p = 0.0125) paired t-tests. Results: The results showed that the peak Achilles tendon load …


An Examination Of The Hamstring And The Quadriceps Muscle Kinematics During The Front And Back Squat In Males, Jonathan Sinclair, Darrell Brooks, Stephen Atkins Mar 2022

An Examination Of The Hamstring And The Quadriceps Muscle Kinematics During The Front And Back Squat In Males, Jonathan Sinclair, Darrell Brooks, Stephen Atkins

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

The aim of the current investigation was to examine the influence of the front and back squat variants on the hamstring and the quadriceps muscles kinematics. Eighteen male participants were recruited with 1 repetition maximum values of 122.7 ±16.4 and 88.7 ±13.9 kg for the back and front squat lifts. Participants completed both back and front squats at 70% of their front squat 1 repetition maximum. The hamstring and the quadriceps muscle kinematics were determined during kinetic situations using motion capture data, in addition to segmental and joint kinematics. Differences between squat conditions were examined using paired samples t-tests. The …

Objectives: The purpose of this investigation was to determine what effect a bilateral strength training regimen has on isometric force production symmetry and if changes in force production symmetry can be accounted for by differences in pre-intervention strength levels. Design: Sixteen recreationally trained males (1-RM squat: 146.8 ± 23.0 kg.) were assigned to two groups for the 7-week training intervention: strong (S) and weak (W) based on pre-training squat isometric peak force allometrically scaled (IPFa) at 120° knee angle. Methods: Subjects completed a 7-week training intervention following a block-periodized model and were tested on measures of dynamic (1RM squat) and …
