Abstract in brief

  • The study examined how different loading devices impact muscle activation during squats and lunges among recreationally active males, focusing on healthy participants without lower limb injuries.
  • Results indicated that loading devices increased muscle activation during squats, especially with kettlebells affecting semitendinosus differently, but lunges showed no significant difference in activation across devices.
  • Overall, squat exercises with kettlebells may be beneficial for targeting specific muscle groups like the medial hamstring, while muscle activation levels are generally higher for lunges compared to squats.
