Squat is a sport that involves lifting weights on the shoulders and performing a series of squats. This will strengthen your legs, especially the four muscles above the knee, called the quadriceps. The quadriceps are tapered together to form a large tendon that attaches to your cheekbones or knees. This large tendon, called the rectus femoris tendon, is prone to injury when doing squats. To reduce the risk of injury, please consult a personal trainer to find out the appropriate technology and how much weight should start.

The weight of your arm is mainly your quads and hips Muscle According to the book "Human Physiology: A Comprehensive Approach", your hip muscles will become stronger even though the hamstring muscles in the back of your thighs and the calf muscles in your calves will become stronger.使用 Use free weights when sitting on a barbell or an exercise machine designed for this purpose. Doing squats basically requires a deep knee bend and weight on the shoulders of your head, which provides resistance. Resistance training can increase muscle but also increases the risk of injury.
Quadriceps
Four-component quadriceps: lateral femoral muscle, medial femoral muscle, medial femoral muscle and rectus femoris, according to "Human Anatomy Atlas." Your Four The function of the head muscles includes stretching my knees and bending my hips. Therefore, your quads are essential for walking, running and jumping. Using weight resistance to do squats may improve your performance in these activities.
Tendon pain
The rectus femoris tendon pain is caused by excessive use or strain of the quadriceps. According to the book "Clinical Guided Anatomy," the rectus femoris tendon injury and pain are particularly common among sprinters, long-distance runners, and weightlifters. Tendon pain is a common symptom of tendinitis, which is accompanied by inflammation and dysfunction. . Tendon pain can also be a sign of rupture, which is a tear in the tissue. Although inflamed tendons can usually be treated at home, tendon rupture often requires surgery.
Treatment prevention
If your tendon pain is due to tendonitis, rest, ice, mild massage and short-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs usually haveEffectively control symptoms and promote healing, according to the "Functional Textbook" medicine. Use good techniques when squatting, such as keeping your toes pointing slightly outward and keeping the bow down, preventing excessive force from being applied to the quadriceps tendon. Warming up and stretching beforehand, wearing proper shoes and using knee support can also help Prevent injuries when squatting.
