Fitness Tips: What is the true danger Squat for knees?

Many people (unfortunately) worried about doing squat exercises, over the full squat where we kudu squat until the knee joint closes everything (the hamstrings bend with the calf) and the knees move far ahead through the toes. This fear is caused because they consider the movement of squat exercises to cause damage to their knee joints.

So, is it true that the movement of squat exercises actually affect the knee joint?

Studies by McLaughlin, Lardner and Dillman (1) stated that the calf bones were guarded to be straightly straight on the surface of the floor when doing squat movements. This means don't let our knees move forward when squats. It is intended to reduce the momentum style of the knee. Indeed, this statement is available. Indeed, the momentum style of the knee increases in line with the knee forward movement. However, the failure of this study was that the momentum style on the hips was not taken into account.

In th. 2003, the research team led by Fry (2) found a breakthrough fact in the subject of squat training movements. They found that the momentum style on the hips would increase by roughly 10-fold when the calf was kept perpendicular and the knee was guarded not to move forward (or not to go through the toes) when we were doing squat exercise movements. On the other hand, it increases the momentum style of the knee when the knee moves forward through the toe of only 250%.

So, the trainer's instructions on the usual "expiry (Outdated)" For clients are, "don't get your knees through your toes when squats". These instructions carry their impact (and unfortunately, its clients) to barely perhaps use his hamstring muscles (back thigh muscles). Meanwhile, 2 matters that inhibit the shifting of the calf bones (tibia) forward when burdened loads are the hamstring and ACL (ligament of the knee front/anterior member). In this case the hamstring muscles are barely able to use, the burden in maintaining the position of the calf bone will fall on the ACL. This is a bad idea! This is the reason why Squat (with techniques "outdated" and "ngawur" not to let go of knees moving forward) danger to knees.

So, back to the initial question, whether squat, of full squat, does not have good impact to the knee? Not very similar! The correct statement is squat with the new inconsequential technique at risk for the knee. Take control of your squat movements and distribute the pressure on the knees properly, i.e. in a hamstring muscle, rather than on an ACL by releasing the knees moving forward. That being said, not only do you keep your knees, you are going to have a tremendous advantage over one of these most effective movements. Interestingly, one such advantage is strengthening the structure of your knee joints.

So once again, right! Squats with the technique of inconsequential and "outdated" will have a bad impact on your knees. But, squats with precise technique will precisely strengthen and maintain the health of your knee joints. If "trainer" or coach you still use instructions that "outdated" to you, for your knee, you should look for "trainer" or other coaches that are not outdated.
