Movement:  Elevated Heel DB Squat

This movement enables the athletes to increase their range of motion (ROM) in the squat while increasing tension in the vascus medialis (pictured in 2), which is part of the quadricep muscle group.  The function of this muscle is knee extension and contributes to correct tracking of the patella (knee cap)

A PVC pipe is used to ensure a vertical path, plus we cue the athlete to take the DB to the ball of their ankle. 

Note: Ideally we’d use a slant board, but a plate will suffice until we get them in from amazon
