Choe, KH, Coburn, JW, Costa, PB, and Pamukoff, DN. Hip and knee kinetics during a back-squat and deadlift. J Strength Cond Res 35(5): 1364-1371, 2021-The back-squat and deadlift are performed to improve hip and knee extensor function. The purpose of this study was to compare lower extremity joint kinetics (peak net joint moments [NJMs] and positive joint work [PJW]) between the back-squat and deadlift. Twenty-eight resistance-trained subjects (17 men: 23.7 ± 4.3 years, 1.76 ± 0.09 m, 78.11 ± 10.91 kg; 11 women: 23.0 ± 1.9 years, 1.66 ± 0.06 m, 65.36 ± 7.84 kg) were recruited. One repetition maximum (1RM) testing and biomechanical analyses occurred on separate days. Three-dimensional biomechanics of the back-squat and deadlift were recorded at 70 and 85% 1RM for each exercise. The deadlift demonstrated larger hip extensor NJM than the back-squat {3.59 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.30-3.88) vs. 2.98 (95% CI: 2.72-3.23) Nm·kg-1, d = 0.81, p < 0.001}. However, the back-squat had a larger knee extensor NJM compared with the deadlift (2.14 [95% CI: 1.88-2.40] vs. 1.18 [95% CI: 0.99-1.37] Nm·kg-1, d = 1.44 p < 0.001). More knee PJW was performed during the back-squat compared with the deadlift (1.85 [95% CI: 1.60-2.09] vs. 0.46 [95% CI: 0.35-0.58] J·kg-1, d = 2.10, p < 0.001). However, there was more hip PJW during the deadlift compared with the back-squat (3.22 [95% CI: 2.97-3.47] vs. 2.37 [95% CI: 2.21-2.54] J·kg-1, d = 1.30, p < 0.001). Larger hip extensor NJM and PJW during the deadlift suggest that individuals targeting their hip extensors may yield greater benefit from the deadlift compared with the back-squat. However, larger knee extensor NJM and PJW during the back-squat suggest that individuals targeting their knee extensor muscles may benefit from incorporating the back-squat compared with the deadlift.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared complex contrast training (CCT) and traditional training (TRAD) methods to see which was more effective for strength and power improvements in female semiprofessional Australian Rules Football players.
  • Both training methods resulted in significant improvements in various performance metrics like back squat and sprint times, but there were no major differences in effectiveness between the two methods.
  • CCT sessions were completed about 7 minutes faster on average than TRAD, with similar perceived exertion levels for both training styles over an 8-week period.

Background: The analysis of athletic performance has always aroused great interest from sport scientist. This study utilized machine learning methods to build predictive models using a comprehensive CrossFit (CF) dataset, aiming to reveal valuable insights into the factors influencing performance and emerging trends.

Methods: Random forest (RF) and multiple linear regression (MLR) were employed to predict performance in four key weightlifting exercises within CF: clean and jerk, snatch, back squat, and deadlift.

Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, School of Physical Education and Sports, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; LADTEF - Performance, Training, and Physical Exercise Laboratory, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Introduction: Tactical athletes need to develop strength and lower limb lean mass (LL LM) to perform effectively. Resistance training (RT) is the most effective way to achieve these goals. Two periodization models stand out: traditional linear periodization (TLP) and daily undulating periodization (DUP).
