Synergistic yet different: Rethinking the gastrocnemii as two functionally distinct muscles
Abstract The human medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles play important roles in gait, standing balance, and numerous sports activities. Because they share
Synergistic yet different: Rethinking the gastrocnemii as two functionally distinct muscles.
In this preprint perspective article, @francoishug.bsky.social and I delve into the biomechanics, anatomy, neural control, and function of the gastrocnemius muscles, two important calf muscles.

Our results indicate that muscle contractility across the peri-menopausal transition into late-stage menopause is both muscle and phase-dependent, emphasizing the complexity of changing hormones throughout the lifespan on muscle contractile function
