Evaluation of the stiffnesses of the Achilles tendon and soleus from the apparent stiffness of the triceps surae

The triceps surae plays an important role in the performance of many sports. Although the apparent average mechanical properties of the triceps surae may be a satisfactory parameter for estimating the training level of an athlete, a knowledge of the mechanical properties of the individual constituen...
