Emphasis on Plantarflexors with Squat to Stand

Squat to stand works hip extensors, quadriceps and plantarflexors concentrically on the way up and eccentrically on the way down.I’ve gotten so now I try to get children to look up as they transition up and down to try to keep an arch in the back.When I am working plantarflexors, I try to get my client to put her heels down.If she has trouble, I let her stand on a decline or with her heels on a mat and her toes on the floor.Sometimes I assist with 1 or 2 hands held.Sometimes I support at the knees from the front or by sitting on a bench behind her I hold the knees from the back.
