Muscle Activation Technique. By MAT developer, Greg Roskopf. MAT is a specific and unique process for evaluating an individualâs ability to develop efficient muscle contraction(s) by first measuring and comparing specific limb and trunk motions, as the human body tends to be symmetrical in its structure right side to left side.
Standing Phase: Muscle Activation. Muscles activated in the standing phase of the squat are the same muscles that are used in the lowering phase. However, during the standing phase of the squat, these muscles shorten as they contract, producing a concentric contraction.s you lower into a squat, these muscles contract as they lengthen to control your speed. The knee extensors -- rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and vastus lateralis -- contract as they lengthen to control your knees as they bend.
