🧍 Starting Position:

Unilateral Stance: Stand on one leg (the front leg).

Weight Distribution: Maintain the majority of the weight on the heel of the front leg.

Foot Tension: "Create tension or stretching of the floor" with your foot, depending on the specific corrective context (e.g., actively gripping or pushing out).

Posture: Maintain a neutral spine and ensure the weight is properly supported on the front foot.

⬇️ Movement Downward (Descent):

Knee Shift: Begin the movement with a minimal shift of the knee forward towards the middle of the foot.

Pelvic Control: Keep the pelvis in a neutral position (no tilting).

Synchronization: Move the entire body synchronously as you start descending downward.

Direction: Avoid any lateral movement (side-to-side shifting).

🔍 Control Points (Assessment):

During the descent, continuously assess your ability to maintain control over these points:

Neutral spine.

Weight distribution on the heel/mid-foot of the front foot. Tension/stretching of the floor (foot activity).

⬆️ Ascent:

Transition: Transition smoothly into the incline (upward movement). Glute/Hamstring Drive: Lift the body by initiating the movement through the stretching/activation of the back of the thigh (hamstrings) and glutes.

✅ Control and Assessment:

Monitor the control points during the ascent. Gradual Progression: It's important to focus on gradual progression, only allowing yourself to increase intensity (depth or repetitions) once control is mastered.

Biomechanics Note: This specific squatting technique is considered optimal as it closely replicates the muscle activation sequence experienced during running and walking.
