Different stance widths are commonly utilized when completing the barbell back squat
during athletic general preparedness training. Width manipulation is thought to influence …

Some recommendations suggest keeping the shank as vertical as possible during the
barbell squat, thus keeping the knees from moving past the toes. This study examined joint …

Barbell placement and stance width both affect lifting performance in the back squat around
the sticking region. However, little is known about how these squat conditions separately …

This two-experiment study aimed to explore habitual and manipulated stance widths on
squat biomechanics. In experiment one, 70 lifters completed back squats at 70%, 1 …

Based on seminal research from the 1970s and 1980s, the myth that the knees should only
move as far anterior during the barbell squat until they vertically align with the tips of the feet …

ratios on trunk lean in the barbell back squat. J Strength Cond Res 31 (11): 3024–3033 …

Context: A limitation of previous studies on squatting mechanics is that the influence of trunk
and shank inclination on the knee-extensor moment (KEM) has been studied in isolation …

The purpose of this study was to assess whether changing the stance width has an effect on
the range of motion of hip flexion, knee flexion, and ankle dorsiflexion during an unloaded …
