The article presents the results of a study which investigated the effect of slow, medium or fast lifting cadences when performing the barbell squat exercise. Details of the experimental protocol are presented, which included measuring ground reaction force and calculating inertia effects. It was found that the acceleration of body mass was more significant than the acceleration of the barbell.
