Front Foot Elevated Split Squat
Keys to this activity are:
1. Maintain stacked position of thorax and pelvis.
2. Maintain foot contacts throughout, especially the inner heel and base of the big toe.
3. Descend vertically over the back leg.
Some reasons to include this activity:
1. Reduce the overall load on the front foot. Because the front foot is elevated, the center of gravity shifts more towards the back foot, making this a great tool for transitioning to fully loaded split squats.
2. Improve hip range of motion. Because one leg is in front of the body and the other is behind, this movement encourages relative external rotation of one leg and internal rotation of the other.
3. Influence position/behavior of the pelvic diaphragm. Because one leg is approaching the 90 degree position as the other is at the 0 degree position, the pelvic diaphragm on one side will be brought towards a more concentric bias while the other is brought towards a more eccentric bias. With breathing strategies superimposed on this activity, this behavior can be influenced further.
