Popis: The purpose of this study was to quantify differences in barbell back squat stability as a function of gaze direction. Sixteen female subjects who were experienced in barbell back squatting performed six sets of three squat repetitions, randomized according to three gaze directions (DOWN, STRAIGHT, and UP). Stability was determined based on the displacement of center of pressure (COP) during each squat repetition, measured using a low-cost, portable force plate. Multiple t-tests with statistical significance set at p
