The Resista Decline Board is made from EVA foam, and is an excellent cost effective option. The decline board has a 25 degree angle of incline. When performing a standard squat, calf tension and excessive trunk flexion can often act to unload the knee extensors (quadriceps). Over time, specific weakness of the quadriceps muscle-tendon unit is considered to increase susceptibility of injury to the knee extensors to be loaded maximally. A recent study of rehabilitation programs for elite volleyballer players with jumper’s knee, found that using the Decline Board produced superior strength gains and improvements in tendon pain compared to a standard squat program. The Decline Board allows targeted strengthening of the knee extensors achievable in a standard squat. It is a valuable tool in rehabilitation and strengthening of the knee extensor mechanism.
