“…In agreement with previous literature, 7,8 greater EMG amplitudes of the gluteal muscles (both GME and GMA) were detected under the looped-band condition. We observed this in both the 5 repetitions at 80% of estimated 1RM and the repetitions to failure test at 60% of estimated 1RM during both the concentric and eccentric phases of the squat.…”

“…One possible training strategy includes the placement of resistance bands or looped elastic tubing modalities around different aspects of the lower limbs (feet/ankles/distal-lateral thighs). [7][8][9][10] The looped band can act as proprioceptive aid that may influence lower body alignment, 10,11 electromyography (EMG) amplitudes, 7,8 and athletic performance. Hence, given its growing popularity, ease of use, low cost, and potential impact on some variables, investigating its effects is important.…”

“…10,11 Recently, it was shown that resistance bands placed around the lower body did not promote "neutral" knee alignment during squatting and jumping exercises. 7,9 The lack of effects in these studies may stem from the limited feedback participants received, their training status, or the location and resistance level of the bands. Placing an elastic band around the lower limbs has been shown to increase hip muscle EMG amplitudes during various lower body exercises.…”

“…Placing an elastic band around the lower limbs has been shown to increase hip muscle EMG amplitudes during various lower body exercises. 7,8 Hip adduction and subsequent internal rotation is linked to patellofemoral pain syndrome 12 and noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries 13,14 ; thus, increasing the contribution of the hip external rotators and abductors may assist in countering these movements. 15,16 However, despite the growing body of research, it remains unknown how placing a looped band around the distal thighs will influence EMG amplitude of lower body muscle groups during high-intensity/high-load exercises.…”

“…In most studies investigating the effects of a resistance band placed around the lower body, the outcome measures were unloaded jumps and low-load/low-intensity exercises. 7,8 Furthermore, a looped band may also influence performance measures (number of repetitions). To date, the effects of looped bands were only investigated in relation to EMG and mechanical alignment.…”

Background: There is little information about the effects of placing a resistance band around the outer thighs on the amplitude of performance and electromyography (EMG) of lower body muscles during a free barbell back squat (FBBS) activity. This study quantified EMG amplitudes of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, vastus lateralis, and biceps femoris during an FBBS with and without the use of a looped resistance band. In addition, the effects of the looped band on the number of repetitions completed on failure in performing FBBS were measured at 2 intensities. Methods: In this study, 15 resistance-trained males (age, 23.6 6 3.5 years) completed an FBBS 3 repetition maximum (RM) test on the first testing day to estimate their 1RM. On days 2 and 3, participants completed 5 repetitions equal to 80% of their estimated 1RM followed by a repetition to failure test using 60% of estimated 1RM with and without a band placed around their thighs in a counter-balanced fashion while EMG amplitudes were collected. Results: No differences were found at 60% intensity test between conditions (band: 21.4 6 6, control: 20.4 6 4.7; P = .171). Similarly, no differences were found between conditions in EMG of the vastus lateralis or biceps femoris at both intensities (effect size [ES] range = 0.01-0.4, P ≥ .05). In contrast, other than a few exceptions, gluteus medius and maximus showed greater EMG activity in the looped-band condition during tests (ES range = 0.28-1.15, P < .05) at both 60% and 80% intensities. Conclusion: Placing a looped resistance band around the thighs can be used as a training strategy to increase the activation of the hip muscles during FBBS using medium to heavy loads without negatively affecting performance.

Purpose Landing is considered a "high-risk" movement for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Foot progression angle (FPA) during landing has been shown to influence hip, knee, and ankle mechanics. The purpose of this study was to compare five FPA conditions during drop landings between males and females. Methods Twenty males and females were tested using five FPA conditions: self-selected, toe-in 15°, toe-in 30°, toe-out 15°, and toe-out 30°. Right hip, knee, and ankle joint kinematics and kinetics were collected using a 12-camera motion capture system and two force plates. Five successful trials were collected and compared between FPA conditions. Results The main effect for FPA condition was statistically different for initial contact hip flexion, hip abduction, hip internal rotation, knee flexion, knee abduction, knee external rotation, and ankle inversion angles compared to self-selected FPA at P < 0.05. Peak hip extension, hip abduction, knee adduction, knee internal rotation, ankle plantar flexion, and ankle inversion moments were also found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). Overall, females experienced greater initial knee abduction angle (P = 0.028), hip abduction moment (P = 0.006), knee extension moment (P = 0.033), and knee internal rotation moment (P = 0.044), regardless of FPA condition. Males experienced greater initial contact hip abduction angle (P = 0.0017), regardless of FPA condition. Conclusion The results suggest that landing with large toe-in FPA will increase the magnitude of ACL injury risk variables, and females demonstrated a greater magnitude in these variables compared to males. Injury prevention programs may seek to target FPA as part of training activities to avoid large FPA toe-in landings.
