What is a corrective cue for a squat when an athlete is on their toes?

Pushing hips back and down
Keeping the back straight
Extending the arms forward
Sinking lower into the squat

The correct answer is: Pushing hips back and down

A corrective cue for a squat when an athlete is on their toes involves instructing them to push their hips back and down. This cue helps promote proper mechanics during the squat by shifting the athlete's weight towards their heels, which is essential for maintaining balance and stability throughout the movement. When the hips are driven back and down, it allows the athlete to engage the posterior chain more effectively, ensuring that the squat is performed with the correct alignment and greater use of the glutes and hamstrings. This alignment also helps to prevent injury and enhances overall strength development. Other cues like keeping the back straight or extending the arms forward might help with posture or stability, but they do not directly address the issue of weight distribution on the toes. Additionally, sinking lower into the squat without correcting the weight shift could lead to further instability and improper form. Thus, focusing on pushing the hips back and down is the most effective approach to correct this specific issue in the squat position.
