Sentences with phrase «plantarflexion with»

Performing plantarflexion with a bent knee position, and slower speeds appears beneficial for the soleus.

Exploring the effect of knee flexion angle, Cresswell et al. (1995) assessed the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle activity during isometric plantarflexion with varying degrees of knee flexion ranging between a fully extended and 130 degrees (flexed) position.

In practice, performing plantarflexion with faster speeds may be beneficial for training the gastrocnemius while utilising slower speeds may be more beneficial for the soleus.

They report that when performing plantarflexion with the knee fully extended, the medial and lateral gastrocnemius displayed superior peak muscle activity with increasing angular velocity, while the soleus displayed decreasing peak muscle activity with increasing velocity.

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.

They report that the medial gastrocnemius displayed superior muscle activity when performing plantarflexion with an extended knee position, while the soleus displayed superior muscle activity with the leg bent.
