From: Foot strike pattern during running alters muscle-tendon dynamics of the gastrocnemius and the soleus
(A) Ensemble average ± one standard deviation tendon energy storage for all plantar flexor tendons together (left), as well as gastrocnemius and soleus components (right) during rearfoot striking (blue) and forefoot striking (red). (B) Ensemble average ± one standard deviation normalized tendon power for the medial gastrocnemius (left) and the soleus (right) during rearfoot striking (blue) and forefoot striking (red). (C) Ensemble average ± one standard deviation positive and negative work done by the muscle fibers, tendon, and muscle-tendon unit of the medial gastrocnemius (left) and the soleus (right) during rearfoot striking (blue) and forefoot striking (red). *indicates a significant difference (p < 0.05).
