Foot Progression Angle and Leg Press: Vastus Medialis Contractile Responses
Sponsor: Giresun University
Summary
This study examined the interaction between rotational foot positioning during leg press and individuals' habitual foot progression angle (FPA) phenotype on the acute contractile response of the vastus medialis muscle

Interventions
Congruent Foot Position Leg Press
Leg press exercise performed with foot rotation position congruent with the participant's habitual foot progression angle phenotype. HFPA group: 30° toe-out; NFPA group: 0° neutral. Protocol: 2×15 repetitions at 40% 1RM followed by 4×10 repetitions at 75-80% 1RM.
Incongruent Foot Position Leg Press
Leg press exercise performed with foot rotation position incongruent with the participant's habitual foot progression angle phenotype. HFPA group: 0° neutral; NFPA group: 30° toe-out. Protocol: 2×15 repetitions at 40% 1RM followed by 4×10 repetitions at 75-80% 1RM.
