Die perfekte Kniebeuge – Squats im Faktencheck

Gibt es sie wirklich, die perfekte Kniebeuge? Denn jeder Mensch bringt doch andere anthropometrische, morphologische und motorische Voraussetzungen mit. Sportwissenschaftler Alexander Pürzel erklärt, wie die Beinkraft effizient mit Squats gesteigert werden kann – unabhängig von individuellen Gegebenheiten. Dabei räumt er mit diversen Mythen auf und liefert einen praxisnahen Trainingsplan für diverse Personengruppen.
