Journal Article
CLARK, D.R., LAMBERT, M.I. and HUNTER, A.M. 2019. Trunk muscle activation in the back and hack quat at the same relative loads. Journal of strength and conditioning research [online], 33(Supplement), pages S60-S69. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1519/JSC.0000000000002144

The hack squat (HS) is likely to produce a greater 1 repetition maximum (1RM) compared with the back squat (BS). This can be attributed to the support of the trunk during the HS compared with no support during BS. This support, however, may compromis...

Reliability of trunk muscle electromyography in the loaded back squat exercise. (2016)
Journal Article
CLARK, D., LAMBERT, M.I. and HUNTER, A.M. 2016. Reliability of trunk muscle electromyography in the loaded back squat exercise. International journal of sports medicine [online], 37(6), pages 448-456. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0035-1569366

Trunk muscle activation (TMA) has been reported during back squat exercise, however reliability and sensitivity to different loads alongside kinematic measures has not. Hence the aim was to determine the interday reliability and load sensitivity of T... Read More about Reliability of trunk muscle electromyography in the loaded back squat exercise..
