How trunk flexion & hip extensors interfere with forces on the patellar tendon during jump landings?

Dr. Rodrigo Scattone elucidates how trunk flexion & hip extensors impact patellar tendon forces in jump landings. 🏆🦵 Excessive trunk flexion and weak hip extensors disrupt kinetic chain alignment, causing anterior pelvic tilt and increased knee valgus. This misalignment elevates patellar tendon load, fostering tendinopathy risk.

This idea came from @erikaquest’s ‘Step Up Your Reformer’ class # 3970 on @pilatesanytimeus. I usually feel super shaky when doing exercises that require standing on a moving carriage, especially while balancing on one leg. The box provides extra support, which makes a series like this more approachable.

🌟Fix Your Pelvis on Stability Ball!🌟 _____________________ Are you having trouble find full hip extension in your core exercises? Try using a stability ball under your pelvis, so that you can FEEL certain bones of your pelvis pull AWAY from the ball while others press INTO the ball. The top two bones, closest to your navel, called the ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine), should pull AWAY from the ball, as your pubic bone presses INTO the ball. You can achieve this by pulling your navel to your spine, engaging lower abdominals and squeezing the LOWER part of your glutes as you externally rotate your legs and reach out through your toes! _____________________ #coreworkout #deepabdominals #pubicsymphysis #pubicbone #anteriorsuperioriliacspine #pelvis #pelvicalignment #postureworkout #corectology #corectologist #glutes🍑 #glutes #gluteus #gluteusmaximus #hipextension #hipextensors #neutralspine #stabilityball #stabilityballworkouts #ajfishertrainer

Understanding the sticking point of a squat

When assessing athletes during a heavy compound lift, there is a common phenomenon known as the sticking point. When analyzing the squat, the sticking point (SP) is usually just above parallel.

Why does this occur?

The reason this is occurring is because your muscles do not produce a consistent amount of force throughout the entire ROM. The torque produced at the hip, knee and ankle change through the course of the lift.

According to the image, your muscles are the strongest when they are at their resting length. This occurs due to the fact that this is the maximal cross bridge formation.

Looking at the next image, as the muscle lengthens, the active tension will decrease and the passive tension (potential elastic energy) will increase. When both active and passive tension is added together we yield the green line.

Therefore, the dip in the green line outlines the SP.

At the bottom of the squat, your hip extensors are in a stretched position, meaning they have potential to produce a high amount of force. Once you surpass your SP, you are moving closer to your testing length therefore the movement becomes easier. Furthermore, the extension torque demands are less.

So what can you do to help beat the SP?

First off, focus on speed coming out of the hole. When doing strength-based compounds, it is paramount to be explosive during the concentric phase. Of course the weight is not going to move quickly, but it will help with overall force production.

Secondly, drive the hips underneath the bar as you reach your SP. This can help decrease the hip extension demands at the SP level.

Lastly, ensure you are bracing effectively by engaging your pelvic floor and breathing using your diaphragm.
