Studies have reported that several factors affect the magnitude of the hip extension moment measured during back squats in addition to the type of subjects and the percentage of 1RM used, including stance width, technique, bar speed and squat depth.

In a nutshell, the anatomic traits that are associated with a more upright squatting posture include: greater heel elevation, greater ankle dorsiflexion mobility, shorter femur length, longer torso length, wider stance width, more abduction, a higher bar position on the back, greater quadriceps strength and increased intent to target the knee extensors.

On the other hand, anatomic traits that lead to a more forward leaning squatting posture include: no heel elevation, restricted ankle dorsiflexion mobility, longer femur length, shorter torso length, narrower stance width, less abduction, a lower bar position on the back, greater gluteal strength and increased intent to target the hip extensors.

Greater stance width in the squat and deadlift, and squeezing a medicine ball between the legs in the leg press may increase adductor longus muscle activity, but the adductor magnus does not appear to be similarly affected.

Comparing the effect of squats with different stance widths, Escamilla et al. (2001a) reported no differences in hip moment arm lengths between the narrow, medium, and wide stance width squats at any point in the lowering and lifting phases, except at 45 degrees of knee flexion in the lifting phase, when the medium and wide stance width squats displayed greater hip moment arm lengths than narrow stance width squats.

Comparing different stance widths, both McCaw and Melrose (1999) and Paoli et al. (2009) found that muscle activity was greater during squats with a wide stance width compared to those with a narrower stance width.

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.
