The ability to perform a squat is essential in today’s society. It is used in order to pick up something from the floor, get into and out of a chair or bed, and is required in most sporting events.  If an individual does a squat incorrectly, this places increased stress on the hips, knees, and ankles which will eventually lead to an injury.  In order to perform a squat using the correct technique, it requires a good combination of mobility and strength.

For the strength component of a squat, a large amount of muscles are involved.  The two most important muscles are the quadriceps and glutes.  These muscles have to be able to lower the body slowly when going down and be able to push you when you want to go back up.  The body sees this as two different muscle actions and an individual has to be able to perform both in order to have a successful squat.
