SLANT BOARD SPLIT SQUAT

The slant board split squat is a strengthening exercise use to build loaded knee extension capacity in deep knee flexion angles.

Take a SPLIT SQUAT position and begin to flex the front knee forward so that it passes the toes. Extend the front knee to raise the body back into a split stance position.
