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

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 ...

Intra- and inter-session reliability and repeatability of an infrared thermography device designed for materials to measure skin temperature of the triceps surae muscle tissue of athletes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Infrared thermography devices have been commonly applied to measure superficial temperature in structural composites and walls. These tools were cheaper than other thermographic devices used to measure superficial human muscle tissue ...

Quadriceps or triceps surae proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching with post-stretching dynamic activities does not induce acute changes in running economy [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Previous studies reported that both a more compliant quadriceps tendon and a stiffer Achilles tendon are associated with better running economy. While tendon stiffness can be decreased by a single bout of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF ...

Implications of variability in triceps surae muscle volumes on peak lower limb muscle forces during human walking. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMusculoskeletal modeling can be used to estimate forces during locomotion. These models, however, are dependent on underlying assumptions about the model inputs, such as muscle volumes and fiber lengths, to calculate muscle forces.
