The researchers found that there was no age-related influence on passive joint stiffness. However, the muscle shear modulus of the triceps surae was notably higher at the NP in the young group ...

Explaining the consequence of these findings, Dr. Akagi and Dr. Hirata state that their "results show that the stiffness of the entire triceps surae, even Sol, which is the most compliant muscle ...

My PhD aimed to gain insights in the relationship between triceps surae muscle force-sharing, Achilles tendon properties, and changes in pain, tendon structure and functioning during rehabilitation in ...

The gastrocnemius, along with the soleus, make up the unit called the triceps surae (commonly called the "calf"). The gastrocnemius is made up of mostly fast-twitch fibers, ...

Objective: To examine the test–retest reliability of a protocol using an apparatus designed to standardise the standing heel rise test for the triceps surae muscle. Subjects: 40 healthy subjects ...

The Achilles tendon is a thick, corded tendon which runs from the calf muscles (the triceps surae or gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to the calcaneus (heel bone) down the back of the lower leg.

The same held true for plantarflexor force; Achilles tendon-triceps surae strain and knee flexion were lower in minimalist shoes. Despite evidence supporting minimalist footwear, there are vocal ...
