Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Squat variations are one of the most effective and widely used lower body exercises. Since most squat variations involve the upper body, spinal and upper extremity pathologies often preclude their use. The belt squat presents a possible alternative. Because resistance is applied to the pelvis, external loading of the upper body appears to be eliminated. Until now, no comparisons have been made between the biomechanics of the back squat and the belt squat. Purpose: to compare the force production, low back moment, and lower extremity joint moments during back and belt squats, performed isometrically. Methods: 26 participants performed isometric belt squats and isometric back squats at four depths. Ground reaction forces and motion were recorded using 3D motion capture and force plates. Joint moments were calculated using inverse dynamics. A regression approach was used to predict joint moments and vertical ground reaction forces at a 45o thigh segment angle. Results: The belt squat produced greater vertical ground reaction forces, knee moments, and ankle moments, while significantly reducing low back moments. Hip moments were not significantly different. Conclusion: The belt squat appears to be an effective means of training the lower body, while minimizing upper body involvement.

Download or read book Biomechanical Comparison of Back Squats and Front Squats Using a Conventional Bar Or a Transformer Bar written by Maja Goršič and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muscle strength is an essential part of a healthy life. One frequently used exercise for lower body strength development is the squat. Common variations of the squat are front and back squats. Recently a new transformer bar has been developed that allows the bar to be placed on the squatters back while the load can be shifted back and forth. The purpose of the current study was to quantify the biomechanical differences in back and front squats' kinematics and kinetics using a conventional bar or a transformer bar. The results showed that the more front load placement resulted in higher low back torques. However, the regular bar back squat and the squats with a transformer bar demonstrated similar hip and knee torques. The regular bar front squat was the only condition that showed increased knee torques but decreased hip torques compared to the regular bar back squat and the squats with a transformer bar. In conclusion, a transformer bar is just as effective in training the hips and knees as a regular back squat and may be considered for people with upper extremity limitations. Additionally, the regular front squat has more knee loading and less hip loading compared to other squats and may be consider for people who want to focus on knee strength training. Furthermore, squats with more forward placements of the load could result in greater low back loading and should be taken into consideration for those with low back impairments.

Download or read book Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning written by Thomas R. Baechle and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2008 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its third edition, Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningis the most comprehensive reference available for strength and conditioning professionals. In this text, 30 expert contributors explore the scientific principles, concepts, and theories of strength training and conditioning as well as their applications to athletic performance. Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningis the most-preferred preparation text for the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam. The research-based approach, extensive exercise technique section, and unbeatable accuracy of Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningmake it the text readers have come to rely on for CSCS exam preparation. The third edition presents the most current strength training and conditioning research and applications in a logical format designed for increased retention of key concepts. The text is organized into five sections. The first three sections provide a theoretical framework for application in section 4, the program design portion of the book. The final section offers practical strategies for administration and management of strength and conditioning facilities. -Section 1 (chapters 1 through 10) presents key topics and current research in exercise physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, biomechanics, endocrinology, sport nutrition, and sport psychology and discusses applications for the design of safe and effective strength and conditioning programs. -Section 2 (chapters 11 and 12) discusses testing and evaluation, including the principles of test selection and administration as well as the scoring and interpretation of results. -Section 3 (chapters 13 and 14) provides techniques for warm-up, stretching, and resistance training exercises. For each exercise, accompanying photos and instructions guide readers in the correct execution and teaching of stretching and resistance training exercises. This section also includes a set of eight new dynamic stretching exercises. -Section 4 examines the design of strength training and conditioning programs. The information is divided into three parts: anaerobic exercise prescription (chapters 15 through 17), aerobic endurance exercise prescription (chapter 18), and periodization and rehabilitation (chapters 19 and 20). Step-by-step guidelines for designing resistance, plyometric, speed, agility, and aerobic endurance training programs are shared. Section 4 also includes detailed descriptions of how principles of program design and periodization can be applied to athletes of various sports and experience levels. Within the text, special sidebars illustrate how program design variables can be applied to help athletes attain specific training goals. -Section 5 (chapters 21 and 22) addresses organization and administration concerns of the strength training and conditioning facility manager, including facility design, scheduling, policies and procedures, maintenance, and risk management. Chapter objectives, key points, key terms, and self-study questions provide a structure to help readers organize and conceptualize the information. Unique application sidebars demonstrate how scientific facts can be translated into principles that assist athletes in their strength training and conditioning goals. Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioningalso offers new lecture preparation materials. A product specific Web site includes new student lab activities that instructors can assign to students. Students can visit this Web site to print the forms and charts for completing lab activities, or they can complete the activities electronically and email their results to the instructor. The instructor guide provides a course description and schedule, chapter objectives and outlines, chapter-specific Web sites and additional resources, definitions of primary key terms, application questions with recommended answers, and links to the lab activities. The presentation package and image bank, delivered in Microsoft PowerPoint, offers instructors a presentation package containing over 1,000 slides to help augment lectures and class discussions. In addition to outlines and key points, the resource also contains over 450 figures, tables, and photos from the textbook, which can be used as an image bank by instructors who need to customize their own presentations. Easy-to-follow instructions help guide instructors on how to reuse the images within their own PowerPoint templates. These tools can be downloaded online and are free to instructors who adopt the text for use in their courses. Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning, Third Edition,provides the latest and most comprehensive information on the structure and function of body systems, training adaptations, testing and evaluation, exercise techniques, program design, and organization and administration of facilities. Its accuracy and reliability make it not only the leading preparation resource for the CSCS exam but also the definitive reference that strength and conditioning professionals and sports medicine specialists depend on to fine-tune their practice.
