In contrast, with the same absolute load (load lifted in both movements equal to 90 % of overhead squat), there was no difference in gastrocnemius muscle activity during the concentric phase yet greater muscle activity during the eccentric phase when performing the overhead squat.

During the back squat, using a wider stance and knee wraps increase gluteus maximus muscle activity, while using running shoes rather than no footwear increases quadriceps muscle activity.

Both Wretenberg et al. (1996) and Pick and Becque (2000) found that stronger individuals displayed greater muscle activity than weaker individuals during the back squat.

Assessing stance width, Escamilla et al. (2001) compared the back squat with stance widths equal to 1 and 2.0 times hip width with loads equal to the 12RM and found that the narrow stance produced superior gastrocnemius muscle activity compared to the wide stance during the back squat.

Finally, Maddigan et al. (2014) compared a 10RM back squat with a 20 step maximum sled push and found no differences in muscle activity between the two exercises during the maximal tests.

Assessing the effects of cues, Bressel et al. (2009) found that conscious efforts to contract the abdominal muscles during squats caused increased muscle activity.

Several studies have assessed calf muscle activity during compound exercises, including the leg press, back squat, overhead squat, deadlift and split squats.

Intervention — any acute study assessing the muscle activity of the quadriceps during the squat exercise

Comparing the back squat with knee extensions, Signorile et al. (1994) found that muscle activity was greater during back squats than during knee extensions but Andersen et al. (2006) found the opposite results and Escamilla et al. (1998) found that muscle activity differences depended upon knee angle.

Heavier loads appear to lead to increased hip adductor muscle activity during back squats.

Simply doing strong diaphragmatic breathing during routine sets of squats and deadlifts helps to get more glute and hip flexor activity in the movement through fascial links of the diaphragm.

When you look at sports and physical activities (like hiking and walking), most are done standing up, so the best way to strengthen the glutes is during standing exercises like squats and lunges and 1 leg balance exercises.
