However, Yavuz et al. (2015) found that front and back squats displayed equal levels of muscle activity for the vastus lateralis and rectus femoris but greater levels in the front squat for the vastus medialis (with the same relative loads).

Vincent et al. (2007) took muscle biopsies from the vastus lateralis and reported that individuals with the R allele displayed a type I, type IIA and type IIX distribution of 50 ± 2 %, 37 ± 2 %, and 14 ± 2 %, while individuals with the XX allele displayed a type I, type IIA and type IIX distribution of 55 ± 3 %, 35 ± 2 %, and 9 ± 1 %.

When assessing maximal knee angle (flexion), mean power output in the concentric phase a squat exercise, and vastus lateralis EMG amplitude, the test - re-test reliability measured by the coefficient of variation (COV) ranged between 5.3 — 7.8 %, which suggests that these measurements are comparatively consistent but not perfectly replicable.

Tesch et al. (1984) reported that vastus lateralis type II fiber proportion was greater in a combined group of Olympic weightlifters and powerlifters than in a group of endurance athletes, but did not differ from an untrained control group.

Interestingly, if you are having a hard time contracting your vastus medialis oblique (VMO) in your knee, the last 15 degrees of this movement can be helpful, but careful with the torque into your knee joint.

The rectus femoris and vastus intermedius are both approximately in the center of the thigh, between the vastus medialis and lateralis.

As such, the vastus intermedius is completely covered and is therefore hidden from the surface anatomy view of the anterior thigh.

Basically, it lays out the evidence that there's likely no leg exercises (including variations of hip width / angle, foot / ankle angle, ROM, etc.) that significantly emphasize the vastus medialis over the vastus lateralis.

Due to the more upright upper body posture, the Front Squat focusses strongly on the muscles on the anterior side of the thighs, the quads or quadriceps (the quadriceps consists of a group of four muscles, the vastus lateralis, the vastus medialis, the vastus intermedius and the rectus femoris).

Your inner thigh is made up of a muscle called vastus medialis, while your outer thigh is called the vastus lateralis.

The Quadriceps are made out of four muscles, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, the vastus lateralis, and the rectus femoris.

The exercise works mainly the quadriceps muscles of the front of the thigh — the rectus femoris and the vastus muscles.

Jenkins et al. (2015) found that the reliability of EMG amplitude was high during a 1RM knee extension test for the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis during (ICC = 0.88, 0.83 and 0.94) and similarly high for the same measure of EMG amplitude measured during MVIC knee extension (ICC = 0.81, 0.86 and 0.78).
