Muscle Swelling of the Triceps Surae in Response to Straight-Leg and Bent-Leg Calf Raise Exercises in Young Women

Abstract: Kassiano, W, Costa, B, Kunevaliki, G, Soares, D, Stavinski, N, Francsuel, J, Carneiro, MAS, Tricoli, I, Nunes, JP, Ribeiro, AS, and Cyrino, ES. Muscle swelling of the triceps surae in response to straight-leg and bent-leg calf raise exercises in young women. J Strength Cond Res 37(7): e438–e443, 2023—Triceps surae muscle swelling in response to different resistance exercises remains to be determined. This study compared the effects of straight-leg (STRA-leg) calf raise vs. bent-leg (BENT-leg) calf raise exerci… Show more

“…These alone or in combination could promote muscle hypertrophy/regeneration ( Wackerhage et al, 2018 ). Additionally, other studies using electromyography ( Price et al, 2003 ; Arampatzis et al, 2006 ; Wakahara et al, 2007 ), ultrasonography ( Kassiano et al, 2023a ), and functional MRI ( Price et al, 2003 ) showed that the LG and/or MG are more activated when isometric or traditional plantarflexion/calf-raise exercise is performed in a knee-extended position. These would collectively explain why standing calf-raise training produced greater hypertrophy of the gastrocnemius and consequently the Whole-TS, compared to seated calf-raise training.…”

“…If they stimulate the calf muscles differently, the optimal volume of sets to induce muscle hypertrophy is probably ex-ercise-dependent. Indeed, there are indications that the calf muscles may respond selectively when performing different exercises [25,28,29], changing foot position [24] and by adding loaded inter-set stretch [30], even when performing an equal number of sets. Finally, reaching a more stretched position often induces greater muscle growth than training at a shortened position [31,32].…”

“…Measurements of the LG were taken at the proximal third between the lateral epicondyle of the femur and the lateral malleolus of the fibula [24]. Image acquisitions of the SOL were taken at the middle distance of the femur and the lateral malleolus of the fibula [25]. Reference lines were drawn on the participants' skin with a dermatographic pen on the sites where images were obtained and were re-drawn and maintained throughout the study to ensure that the measurement was taken at the same place at baseline and posttraining.…”
