Reciprocal activation of gastrocnemius and soleus motor units is associated with fascicle length change during knee flexion
While medial gastrocnemius (MG) and soleus (SOL) are considered synergists, they are anatomically exclusive in that SOL crosses only the ankle, while MG crosses both the knee and ankle. Due to the force‐length properties of both active and passive structures, activation of SOL and MG must be constan...
