Understanding muscle forces during exercise helps prevent injuries, especially in women prone to knee issues. Our study examined lower leg muscle forces during back squats, good mornings, and split squats, focusing on women. Eight participants were analyzed using advanced tools like musculoskeletal models, EMG, and motion capture systems. The results showed the back squat exerted the most force on quadriceps, particularly the rectus femoris, and the back leg in split squats. Gluteal muscles were most active during good mornings and the front leg of split squats, especially the gluteus maximus. Hamstrings, particularly the semimembranosus, were also heavily engaged. Our study highlights the need for personalized exercise guidance to make strength training safer and more effective for women. View this paper
