A three-dimensional biomechanical analysis of sumo and conventional style deadlifts
Article Abstract:
Variations in technique between sumo and traditional powerlifting cause differences in biomechanical parameters, according to a study of 24 powerlifters. Coaches should use this information to recommend which technique powerlifters should use.

A three-dimensional biomechanical analysis of the squat during varying stance widths
Article Abstract:
This study uses two- and three-dimensional analyses to investigate biomechanical and kinematic differences in squatting among competitive weight lifters with varying stance widths. Findings indicate that there were significant differences in both joint angles and muscle moments across stance widths.
