Jonathon Sullivan, MD, PhD, SSC discusses why and how the squat meets the requirements of the exercise prescription for healthy aging.

The exercises in The Barbell Prescription are chosen not just for their ability to train the most muscle over the longest range of motion to produce the most strength, but also for their ability to satisfy the exercise medicine criteria of safety, dosing range, completeness, specificity and effectiveness, simplicity, and efficiency. Sully explains how the squat meets these criteria beautifully, making it the cornerstone of a comprehensive Exercise Medicine Prescription for adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
