Effect of repetition on force platform metrics during the bilateral bodyweight squat, The
Altmetrics
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Functional Movement Assessments (FMAs) have been gaining popularity for screening athletes to determine weaknesses that could increase risk for injury. A common movement among many FMAs is the bilateral bodyweight (BWT) squat. Currently, FMAs typically require only 3-5 repetitions of the squat when unfatigued. However, it is known that fatigue affects performance and increases injury risk. It is possible that performing more repetitions might simulate the effects of fatigue, increasing the sensitivity of the FMA. PURPOSE: The goal of this investigation was to analyze the vertical ...
