Squat Movement
kBox
Squat
The squat movement involves lower body exercises that strengthen the quadriceps, hamstring, glutes, hip flexors, and engage the core. The squat movement is performed from a hip hinge and knee flexion, lowering yourself as deep as possible into a seated position and standing up again, bilateral.
Split squat movements performed on the kBox are the Bulgarian split squat or regular split squat, both mainly targeting the glutes, hamstring, quadriceps, and core muscles. Any lunge variation performed on the kPulley can be used together with rotational movements.
Benefits
Movements such as split squats are performed unilaterally to:
- Increase the cross-sectional strength
- Improve balance
- Prevent injuries
Applications
The squat is a basic flywheel training exercise with many variations and an important exercise for all subjects ranging from rehab patients to elite athletes.
- In performance, the strength in a squat is highly correlated to improved results in jump height and sprint start.
- In rehabilitation and for example ACL injuries and patellar tendinitis, the kBox squat is important to speed up a patient’s recovery.
Variations
The squat movement can be done with:
- Restricted depth
- Traditional concentric-eccentric 1:1 training
- Eccentric overload
- Lateral/side-ways
To perform squat movements on the kBox, there are multiple attachments to use such as the ergonomic Harness, Hip Belt, kBar and Foot Block. The squat can also be performed with the rehabilitation accessory Decline Board for patients rehabilitating tendinopathies for example.
