Lower Extremity Muscle Functions during Full Squats

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to determine the functions of the gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, semitendinosus, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, soleus, gastrocnemius, and tibialis anterior muscles about their associated joints during full (deep-knee) squats. Muscle function was determined from joint kinematics, inverse dynamics, electromyography, and muscle length changes. The subjects were six experienced, male weight lifters. Analyses revealed that the prime movers during ascent were the monoarticular … Show more

“…Here, the hip and knee joints dissipate energy through eccentric contraction of the main muscle groups on lower extremity during the decent phase (2 seconds period). 4 Similarly, during the ascending phase (2 seconds period), energy is generated while undergoing concentric contraction. 4 In contrast, during initial stages (0-15% cycle) of the decent phase, the knee flexor muscles act concentrically followed by extensor muscles acting eccentrically for the remainder of the descent (15-53% cycle).…”
