Calves

The Calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) are responsible for ankle extension and stability during locomotion. Strong calves support speed, balance, and impact control.

Exercises such as calf raises, jump rope, and sprints develop endurance and elasticity for explosive movement. Balanced calf training also supports joint health and performance longevity.
