yeah there are distinct physiological factors that you would observe and then tell somebody not to go below 90 degrees. For example, an individual could experience a pelvis tilt as they squat down low, which leaves them in a good spot for a lower back injury. if a person has good form then they can go low. squating lower activates the hamstrings and glutes more so. A low squat with good technique will put no stress on the cruciate ligaments (like ACL) and less stress on the knee overall.

Why does a beginner stop at a quarter squat if they could go much further? Why not go below 90 degrees if you can maintain neutral spine under load, much better for the hips and hammies, plus you will train in a range where your body wants to go into. This will keep your knees happy, not silly quarter squats.

Thank you for this, there's a great exercise (forgotten it's name) on the Nintendo Wii Fitness-software and with the help of the balance board making sure you put your weight onto your glutes, just like in this video!
