Lower extremities joint angles during squats - underexplored parameter of standard rehabilitation and sports exercise

The purpose was to specify the lower extremity joint angles in different squats for future development of adequate computational models joints. Methods. We investigated joints 103 athletes types with and without added weight (barbell) 75% 1 repetition maximum. Results. mean knee hip flexion ankle dorsiflexion horizontal are respectively 113.42°, 128.21°, 23.27°; half-squats 70.60°, 87.94°, 15.60°; lunges 98.04°, 96.36°, 8.02°; Smith machine 94.42°, 106.28°, 4.46°. In a squat barbell, significantly larger (by 4.56 ° 3.11 °, respectively) than weight. less barbell 4.15° 4.37°, respectively). angle male is female 4.71°). Conclusions. established may be used further research. Horizontal produce greater angles.
