In contrast, Segal et al. (2005) found that the medial and lateral gastrocnemius and soleus displayed superior muscle activity in the proximal regions compared to the distal regions of the muscle.

Therefore, it appears that the rear foot elevated split squat produces superior gastrocnemius and soleus muscle activity when compared to the back squat.

Comparing different knee joint angles in the deadlift, Escamilla et al. (2002) explored muscle activity of the medial and lateral gastrocnemius at knee joint angles of: 90 — 61 degrees (lift - off position), 60 — 31 degrees (mid-range), and 30 — 0 degrees (lockout).

They report that the partial squat produced greater medial gastrocnemius muscle activity compared to the parallel squat, despite a greater range of ankle motion during the parallel squat.

They reported that medial gastrocnemius muscle activity was superior when performing the stiff - legged deadlift compared to the conventional deadlift, although the actual difference was very small (108 vs. 104 % of MVIC).

Therefore, it appears that the medial gastrocnemius displays a larger muscle thickness compared to the lateral gastrocnemius, while the soleus appears to display the smallest muscle thickness.

During the eccentric phase, both the medial and lateral gastrocnemius displayed superior muscle activity during the lock - out and mid-range, compared to the lift - off position.

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.

Assessing stance width, Escamilla et al. (2001) compared the back squat with stance widths equal to 1 and 2.0 times hip width with loads equal to the 12RM and found that the narrow stance produced superior gastrocnemius muscle activity compared to the wide stance during the back squat.

Further, the soleus muscle activity appeared significantly greater during the bent knee (90 degrees) condition compared to the gastrocnemius.

They reported that the gastrocnemius muscle activity was higher during the Romanian deadlift compared to the prone leg curl but similar in the Romanian deadlift and both glute - ham raise and good morning exercise.

Furthermore, they reported that the mid-range portion of the concentric lift produced superior medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscle activity compared to the lift - off position, but similar muscle activity was found between the lift - off and lock - out phase, as well as the mid-range and lockout.

They report that the medial gastrocnemius displayed superior muscle activity compared to the lateral gastrocnemius during loads equal to 30, 50 and 70 % of bodyweight, but displayed similar muscle activity during the maximal contraction.

Morse et al. (2008) found that PCSA was substantially smaller in the gastrocnemius of boys compared to adult males, but PA and muscle fascicle length relative to muscle length did not differ.

Comparing the effects of deadlift technique, Escamilla et al. (2002) found that the conventional deadlift style displayed greater gastrocnemius muscle activity than the sumo deadlift style.
