The Effect of Altering Knee Position and Squat Depth on VMO  : VL EMG Ratio During Squat Exercises

ConclusionIncreases in relative VMO activation did occur in ‘deeper’ squat depths (50° and 80° knee flexion) compared with the 20° condition. Further research is needed in this area concerning the effects of such exercise modifications on a symptomatic patellofemoral pain syndrome population. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
