"quickness" is absolutely about the core muscles. This sort of quickness is not quite what the article was talking about, but for your case it's relevant.
A major reason why squats are so beneficial is because it strengthens your core.
- knn 11y agoSure, squats strengthen your core, but the core isn't a set of magical muscles that automatically make you faster. Strong quads, hams, and glutes are more important. Squats train your legs/posterior chain/core (and upper body to an extent), and also teach the triple extension [0] which is key in explosiveness. Type I and Type II muscle fibers matter as well [0] http://myweb.facstaff.wwu.edu/chalmers/PDFs/Triple%20Extension%20-%20the%20key%20to%20athletic%20power.pdf http://myweb.facstaff.wwu.edu/chalmers/PDFs/Triple%20Extensi...
- mreiland 11y agoWhy did you just refer to core stability as "magic muscles" in a disparaging way? What exactly was your goal there? No one here said your core muscles were the only muscles involved in these exercises, but they are critical. Stop being a jackass.
