Results revealed minimal hamstring activity as compared with quadriceps activity during an unloaded squat in healthy subjects, and this low level of hamstring EMG activity was interpreted to reflect the low demand placed on the hamstring muscles to counter anterior shear forces acting at the proximal tibia.
