Q

What are the differences between the squats?

A
  • Bodyweight squat (easiest)
  • Goblet squat (train trunk stability, flexion biased, quadriceps and gluteal dominant)
  • Front squat (more difficult, flexion biased, quadriceps and gluteal dominant)
  • High bar back squat (most difficult, extension biased, gluteal and hamstring dominant)

Q

Hip Hinge

A
  • The hinge is a very important movement that carries over to functional tasks such as lifting
  • For example: patients with low back pain do not know how to hinge properly, instead using their lumbar paraspinal muscles
  • By correctly training someone to hinge, they can stabilize through the lumbar spine and use their larger prime mover muscles (gluteals and hamstrings) to lift

Q

Push

A
The push is crucial for functional
tasks such getting up from the floor,
moving things,…
Important to train this movement
with upper limb and sometimes
cervical/thoracic injuries.

A

The lunge is crucial for functional tasks such as stairs, sit to stand, running and many more,…

19
Q

Pull

A
  • Important for any scapula dysfunction that may contribute to shoulder and neck problems
  • Often neglected in exercise programs compared to pushing exercises
  • Pulling strength important for functional tasks:
    • Carrying
    • Lifting objects
    • Holding objects
