Squat! Can the knees go over the tips of the toes?
Squats - can your knees go over your toes?
The squat is considered the supreme discipline in weight training. It is one of the most effective full-body exercises, highly functional and extremely suitable for everyday use. So it's no wonder that it has a firm place in the training of ambitious athletes as well as in rehabilitation and senior concepts.
However, it is precisely this versatility and the high muscular demands that make the squat an exercise in which mistakes are often made - sometimes with serious consequences. There are also persistent myths surrounding the "correct" execution. One question in particular has been a source of debate for years:
Are the knees allowed to go beyond the tips of the toes during the squat or not?
At first glance, it seems sensible not to push the knees beyond the tips of the toes, as this reduces the load on the knee joint. However, this is often overlooked: This technique affects the entire movement sequence and changes the forces acting on other joints and the spine.
What can you expect in this webinar?
In this webinar, we will look at the squat from a holistic, biomechanical perspective. Together we will explore the following questions:
- What happens biomechanically when the knees go over the top of the toes?
- What effects do different techniques have on the knees, hips and spine?
- What variations of the squat are there and how do they differ in terms of execution and load?
You will gain practical knowledge that you can apply directly in your own training or when working with clients.
Who is this webinar suitable for?
- For anyone who wants to optimize their squat technique and train safely.
- For trainers and coaches who want to deepen their biomechanical knowledge.
- For anyone who questions myths and is looking for scientifically supported answers.
