Comparing free weight and machine squats, Anderson and Behm (2005) found no differences between conditions (with the same absolute loads) but Schwanbeck et al. (2009) noted that the free weight back squat displayed higher muscle activity than a Smith machine squat (with the same relative loads).

Comparing front and back squats, Comfort et al. (2011) reported greater muscle activity in the front squat than in the back squat (using the same absolute load) but Gullett et al. (2009) and Yavuz et al. (2015) found no differences between front and back squats when using the same relative load.
