Neuromuscular Activation Patterns of the Gastrocnemius Muscle During Static and Dynamic Sprint Starts: Implications for Acceleration Training
Objective: The gastrocnemius muscle is crucial in explosive acceleration, yet the effect of sprint start type [static (began from an upright stance) vs. dynamic (included bilateral hops before sprinting)] on its activation remains underexplored. Methods: This study compared medial and lateral gastrocnemius activation d...
