1: Deep Squat
What is the biomechanics of a squat ?
The squat is a well-known exercise for the knee and hip muscles and is commonly used in rehab programmes. Biomechanically, the squat is a close-chain movement, requiring simultaneous extension patterns of the ankle, knee and hip joints.
Why is the squat test important ?
Purpose. The overhead squat test is a subjective screening assessment used to obtain a general indication of your dynamic posture. The test identifies compensatory movements and considers muscles which could potentially be overactive or underactive with the intention of addressing these muscle imbalances.
The squat is performed by flexing at the hip, knee and ankle joints to descend to the desired squat depth. Returning to the upright position occurs by extending the hip, knee and ankle joints
Note the difference in body angles in low-bar, high-bar and front squats.

4: Shoulder Mobility
What is the biomechanics of the shoulder flexion?
The shoulder can move in the following ranges: Flexion/Extension: The arm has a range of around 165° to 180° of flexion to approximately 30° to 60° of hyperextension in the sagittal plane. Flexion range is reduced with a position of external rotation; in maximal external rotation, flexion is only 30°.
