In other words, squats are very important in the process of practicing our legs, so why are squats so important in the process of practicing our legs? There are generally two reasons for this problem.
Then, Bian Xiao, I will introduce these two reasons to you, hoping to help you effectively to some extent and let everyone know squat better.
First, squat is a heavy compound training action.
What we need to know is that in a lot of fitness training, the first training action should be repetition and combination training action.
For example, in the process of intensive training of chest muscles, the first thing we will do is bench press, which is a good compound training action for us.
Similarly, when many of us do leg exercises, the first training action to be taken is the heavy compound training action of squat.
The reason why we need to start from the first movement in fitness training and carry out compound weight training action is because compound weight training action can not only activate our target muscles better.
And we also need to know that when we are doing compound training movements, many muscles of our body, including our target muscles, will get better training results.
For example, the training action of squat can not only strengthen your lower limb muscles, including quadriceps femoris in front of thigh and gluteus maximus in buttocks, but also strengthen your core muscles and some upper limb muscles.
Second, squats can effectively enhance leg muscle strength.
What we need to know is that if we want to strengthen the leg muscles, then squat is definitely an essential training action.
For many of our athletes, we should have done squats, because the training effect of squats to enhance leg muscle strength is irreplaceable to some extent by other training actions.
On the other hand, it can be said that squatting can help us run faster, jump higher and make our bodies stronger.
