Comparison of the relative muscle volume of triceps surae among sprinters, runners, and untrained participants

Abstract Muscle hypertrophy is considered more prominent in fast‐twitch than in slow‐twitch muscles. This leads to the hypothesis that the relative muscle volume of the medial gastrocnemius (MG) and lateral gastrocnemius (LG) becomes larger than that of the soleus (SOL) in highly trained participant...
