Triceps surae muscle hypertrophy is greater after standing versus seated calf-raise training [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Background: The triceps surae muscle plays important roles in fundamental human movements. However, this muscle is relatively unresponsive to resistance training (difficult to hypertrophy) but prone to atrophy with inactivity compared with other muscles.

Contribution of muscle stiffness of the triceps surae to passive ankle joint stiffness in young and older adults [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 This study aimed to investigate whether triceps surae muscle stiffness is associated with passive ankle joint stiffness in 40 young (21–24 years) and older (62–83 years) males. Using ultrasound shear wave elastography, the shear modulus of each muscle of

Measurement of Healthy and Injured Triceps Surae Morphology. [PDF]
J Vis Exp, 2023 Achilles tendon injuries occur throughout the lifespan and can negatively affect quality of life and overall health. Achilles tendinopathy is generally classified as an overuse injury associated with fusiform tendon thickening, neovascularization, and interstitial tendon degeneration.

Effects of Knee Joint Angle and Contraction Intensity on the Triceps Surae Stiffness [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Purpose: Monitoring the contractility of muscles assists the clinician in understanding how muscle functions as part of the kinetic system. This study investigated the effect of knee joint angles under different resistance on the stiffness of the medial ...
