Sentences with phrase «plantar flexion with»

In agreement, Reid et al. (2011) compared eccentric plantar flexion with the knee fully extended and during a flexed position and reported superior gastrocnemius muscle activity during plantar flexion with full knee extension and no difference in soleus muscle activity.

Therefore, it appears that during dynamic plantarflexion with an extended knee position preferentially targets the gastrocnemius, while performing plantar flexion with a flexed knee preferentially targets the soleus muscle.

Plantar flexion with a resistance band is a gentle exercise to start with.

Not exact matches

Moment arm lengths increase linearly with increasing plantar - flexion.

The gastrocnemius also acts as a weak knee flexor, and is capable of producing its greatest plantar - flexion moment with the knee extended.

Moment arm length increases linearly with plantar - flexion.

Comparing the effects of squats with different stance widths, Escamilla et al. (2001a) did not report actual peak ankle plantar flexion angles, but they did report more heavily - angled shanks in narrow stance squats compared to wide stance squats.

Performing plantar - flexion exercises with an extended knee position, including dorsiflexed positions and faster speeds appears beneficial for training the gastrocnemius.

Performing plantar - flexion with a bent knee position and slower speeds appears beneficial for training the soleus.

Restrictions in the superficial front line are seen with forward head posture, anterior pelvic shift and tilt, knee hyperextension, breathing restrictions in the anterior ribs, and ankle plantar flexion limitation (11).
