Calf Strength

Each time we land when running the calf has to absorb 2-3x your bodyweight. The calf complex also provides up to 60% of our shock absorption when walking/running!

Having big, strong calves is a necessity to prevent injuries and improve performance especially for runners and those playing high impact sports such as netball, soccer and AFL.

Give this simple test a try and see how you go compared to normal values for your age bracket.

 

Calf Raises

Calves provide 60% of our shock absorption when running so it’s essential for any runners or athletes that they have strong calves!

Calf raises can benefit anyone but are particularly useful for runners, athletes or those with achilles tendinopathy.
