Comparing squat variations, Russell and Phillips (1989) reported that peak hip extensor moments were greater during the back squat than in the front squat, even when each variation was performed to a standardized depth and with the same relative load.

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.

Both Russell and Phillips (1989) and Diggin et al. (2011) reported that peak trunk angle was more acute during the back squat than during the front squat (performed to a standardized depth).

Wretenberg et al. (1996) found that peak knee extensor moments were greater during both powerlifting squats and during Olympic weightlifting - style squats when performed with greater depth (deep = maximal knee flexion vs. parallel = posterior of the hamstrings parallel to the ground).

This is no reason to not perform them, however, and the mistakes that make these lifts potentially dangerous are more often than not the result of imbalances (quad / hamstring imbalances leading to knees bowing in or forward during the squat), disproportionately weak muscles (lower back rounding during the deadlift), or balance issues that absolutely need to be addressed for the athlete.

(2014) found that gluteus maximus EMG amplitude was enhanced during single - leg squats with a Swiss ball, such potentially positive findings have not been observed by all researchers.
