The 'Active' Squat
Fundamental squat & hip-mobility development

4m 11s
THE WHAT:
The 'Active' squat is a form which is structurally sound to receive load and produce force from (e.g. as in the context of performing a 'Back squat'). Compared to the ‘Passive-squat’, in terms of range it requires LESS knee, hip, and ankle-flexion, although their development is still affected due to the innate intention of the structure and the executional options under bodyweight an optional external-loading.
Whilst teaching a fundamental weight-training form, then, spending time with the ‘Active squat’ is also a great introductory hip & squat-mobility development context for those significantly restricted in the ‘passive-squat’ form.
