The squat, a fundamental movement in CrossFit, is vital for athletic performance, health, and longevity. Its benefits range from preserving muscle mass and motor control to enhancing core stability and reducing injury risk. Proper technique, rooted in biomechanics, ensures efficient and safe execution by accounting for individual differences in body proportions, mobility, and anatomical structure. Tailored coaching, scaling, and continuous feedback enable athletes to refine their squats for optimal results, supporting the core CrossFit goal of maximizing work output while maintaining joint health and safety.
