2). Evaluation of the gastroc-soleus complex (Achilles tendon) will invariably reveal a loss of motion with passive dorsiflexion. This should be performed with the knee extended (gastroc-soleus ...

“The gastroc soleus complex is the deep and superficial muscle in the posterior aspect of the leg that is responsible for you to run and sprint and jump. It’s a critical muscle that wa ...

In addition to being the second strongest plantar flexor (after the gastrocnemius-soleus complex) and twice as strong as the FDL, its excursion is compatible with its function as a transfer tendon.

For example, with every step the Achilles tendon receives tensile loads generated by three elements of the gastrocnemius–soleus complex and thus, the cells that make up the tendon experience tensile ...

Background Dorsiflexion ROM deficits have been associated with greater knee-valgus displacement and increased ground reaction forces during landing. These landing mechanics are risk factors for lower ...

Before we discuss how to train your calf muscles, it’s important to understand the anatomy of the muscles you're training: the soleus and the gastrocnemius. The soleus is the deeper muscle that ...

The calves are made up of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Each of these muscles is critical to walking, running, jumping and supporting good posture. The gastrocnemius is the largest part of ...

The gastroc attaches above the knee, and the soleus below the knee. So whenever the knee is bent ... Plyos are a great way to train the calves with respect to the ankle complex, and you’ll do that ...

The calves are made up of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Each of these muscles is critical to walking, running, jumping and supporting good posture. The gastrocnemius is the largest part of ...
