The Squat is one of the most efficient exercises in strength training in terms of gaining muscle mass. The movement is polyarticular and involves a great number of large and small muscles. Practically all the muscles of the lower body are engaged during this exercise. Different movement types shift the load on different muscle groups.

The effectiveness of squats is indisputable, and the best proof of this is the huge role that this exercise plays in training athletes in different sports. Squats are used in the training of a number of athletes. These include skiers, throwers in track and field (shot put, hammer, etc.), sprinters, jumpers, wrestlers, boxers, football players (both international and North American variants), as well as various other sports.

The squat, which is the first competitive exercise in powerlifting, sets a proper mental attitude of an athlete toward the rest of the competition. It is impossible to achieve high results in the squat without effective completion of motor tasks. This concerns the need for proper technique, which mainly depends on the technical rules and requirements.
