Cross-sectional study shows stance width and foot placement impact squat knee loading in healthy women, suggesting injury prevention strategies.
Adjusting stance width and foot placement angles in partial squats is important for injury prevention and rehabilitation. These findings offer practical recommendations for optimizing squat performance in both clinical and athletic context. Future studies should consider exploring a wider range of stance widths and foot angles, as well as diverse populations, including different age groups, sexes, and individuals with specific knee conditions.
