Comparing the split squat with a walking lunge exercise, Stastny et al. (2015) found that the walking lunge displayed
similar quadriceps muscle activity to the split squat.
Back squats, front squats, Smith machine squats, hip thrusts and sled pushes appear to display
similar quadriceps muscle activity, but the back squat seems to display greater quadriceps muscle activity than either the split squat or overhead squat.
Not exact matches
Most squat variations appear to lead to
similar quadriceps, gluteus maximus and erector spinae
muscle activity, but the back squat seems to display greater
quadriceps muscle activity than either the split squat or overhead squat.
In fact, foam rolling for only 2 minutes enhances
quadriceps muscle ROM to a
similar degree as previously reported in other static stretching studies.
