The back squat is a well-researched and widely used exercise to enhance fundamental movement competency that creates a foundation for optimal mechanical strategies during a broad range of activities. The primary commentary introduced the Back Squat Assessment (BSA): a criterion based assessment of the back squat that delineates 30 potentially observable functional deficits. This follow-up commentary provides a targeted system of training cues and exercises to supplement the BSA to guide corrective intervention. We propose a criterion driven approach to corrective exercise that can support practitioners in their goal to help individuals achieve movement competency in the back squat.

Influence of the Intensity of Squat Exercises on the Subsequent Countermovement Jump Performance
Jenkins, Benjamin (Cardiff Metropolitan University, 2015)Jump performance can be augmented after performing squat exercises, and this is thought to be because of the phenomenon of postactivation potentiation (PAP). The influence of the intensity of squat exercise on jump ...
