SCIENCE OF
SQUAT MOVEMENT

Hong Seong Hyeon Ph.D. · Exercise Medicine & Rehabilitation

We sit down and stand up every day — so why relearn the squat? Because the moment load is added, the task changes. Four hours on how joints, muscles, external resistance, and ground reaction force interact, and how to coach that clearly for each individual.

Bodyweight squat — the movement we perform every day

02 · Why relearn the squat

WE SIT DOWN AND
STAND UP EVERY DAY.

The squat is, in essence, one of the most familiar movements we know.

So why do we need to learn this movement again?

A familiar movement, but not a simple task.

Back squat under load — upper and lower body working together

03 · The core idea

LOAD CHANGES
THE TASK.

The moment weight is added, the task changes.
Beyond simply sitting down and standing up, the body has to regulate the magnitude and direction of force, and respond to external resistance.
External resistance, ground reaction force, the joints between them, and the force strategies of those joints and muscles — together they complete the squat.
