A Study on Impact of Squat Exercise on Foot Pressure with different loads

Abstract

This study is purposed to propose indices in order to achieve goals such as preventing one-sided movement of balance, preventing injuries to joints of legs, improving muscular strength of legs, and maximizing sporting achievement. In terms of methodology, this study has compared foot pressure distribution during squat exercise. This study targets 10 male students in their 20s of Department of Physical Education and 10 male students in their 20s of other departments of P University located in B City. Skilled members have been selected out of those who have had regular weight training experiences for last 3 years. As a result of analysis on impact of squat exercise on foot pressure, conclusions have been obtained as shown below. As a result of analysis on foot pressure distribution of back feet of skilled members and unskilled members during squat exercise, it was found out that foot pressure of left foot of skilled members was 0.13 f/s, and that of unskilled members was 0.28 f/s, showing significant difference ㎏ ㎏ (p<.01). As a result of analysis on foot pressure ratio of back feet of skilled members and unskilled members during squat exercise, it was found out that foot pressure ratio of left foot of skilled members was 50.03%, and that of unskilled members was 67.18%, showing significant difference(p<.01).
