Pre-assessment guidelines Anterior Lateral Posterior Overhead squat assessment Equipment: None, although can be performed holding a wooden dowel or barbell. Procedure: 1. Client removes socks and footwear and stands with feet shoulder-width apart, pointing straight ahead with arms raised above the head, in line with the torso and with elbows fully extended. 2. Keeping arms extended, the client performs a squat movement, sinking roughly to the height of a chair, then returning to the start position. 3. The client should perform a total of 15 reps to allow the trainer to view 5 reps each from an anterior, lateral and posterior position. KEY POINT Some clients quite simply may not be able to perform an overhead squat assessment without losing balance and/or experiencing pain or discomfort. If this happens, the assessment could be modified by either placing the hands on the hips, or placing a slight rise underneath their heels, so their ankles are slightly plantar flexed throughout the movement. The second option would be to consider an alternative assessment. 370 Copyright © 2019 Active IQ Ltd. Not for resale
