Abstract
This study compared single-leg squat (SLS) kinematics in recreationally active females and males, investigating sex differences in joint angles and the relationship between kinematics and squat depth. Fifty-eight young adults performed SLSs; motion capture data revealed sex differences in hip, spine, and knee angles. Squat depth correlated positively with joint angles in males, while the correlation was more limited in females. The study highlights sex-specific motor strategies during SLS.
