Morphological and mechanical properties of the human triceps surae aponeuroses taken from elderly cadavers: Implications for muscle-tendon interactions.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The human triceps surae (two gastrocnemii and soleus) has aponeuroses in the proximal and distal aspects, the latter of which insert into the calcaneus by sharing the common Achilles tendon.

Differential Myopathic and Transcriptomic Changes in Soleus and Gastrocnemius Muscles in a Novel Chronic Hindlimb Ischemia Rat Model Induced by Endovascular Catheter Occlusion

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a progressive atherothrombotic disorder affecting more than 230 million people worldwide. Conventional animal models of chronic hindlimb ischemia (HLI) are highly invasive, technically challenging, fail to account for anatomical variation, and may not accurately recapitulate progressive PAD pathophysiology ...

Age-related differences in drop jump performance are eliminated when triceps surae mechanical properties are matched [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction Age-related declines in locomotion have been related to declines in the triceps surae muscle-tendon unit (MTU) capacities1. We aimed to determine if drop jump height or motor task execution strategy differences existed between young and ...

Achilles tendon compliance influences tendon loading more than Achilles tendon twist in Achilles tendinopathy: a musculoskeletal modeling approach

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
The Achilles tendon exhibits anatomical variations in subtendon twist among individuals, and its compliance can change due to conditions like Achilles tendinopathy.

Effect of the Kinesio tape to muscle activity and vertical jump performance in healthy inactive people

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2011
Background Elastic taping applied on the triceps surae has been commonly used to improve the performance of lower extremities. However, little objective evidence has been documented.

EFFECTS OF CYCLIC STATIC STRETCH ON FATIGUE RECOVERY OF TRICEPS SURAE IN FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYERS [PDF]

, 2013
Static stretch is a safe and feasible method which usually is used before exercise to avoid muscle injury and to improve muscle performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of cyclic static stretch (CSS) on fatigue recovery of ...

Contractile adaptations in the human triceps surae after isometric exercise

, 1989
Ultrastructural and twitch contractile characteristics of the human triceps surae were determined in seven healthy but very sedentary subjects before and after 16 wk of unilateral isometric training at 100% maximal voluntary contraction. After training,
