Table 1 Force generation ability (unitless) and timing of peak active force for the medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, and soleus during rearfoot striking (RFS) and forefoot striking (FFS).
From: Foot strike pattern during running alters muscle-tendon dynamics of the gastrocnemius and the soleus
