muscle conditioning
voluntary activation
muscle strength
muscle endurance
muscle reaction and timing
postural control
medial arch muscle condition
try to get them and teach them to achieve the arch
electrophysical agents muscle condition
stimulation of the foot muscle
stimulates the motor nerves
stages to muscle condition tendon and muscle of calf
1- isometric
2- isotonic
3- energy storage exercises
4- energy storage and release
phase 1 dosage isometric calf raise
5 sets of 45 second reps several times a day
different ROMS for where it is
phase 2 dosage isotonic calf raise
4 sets 6-8 reps
2 times week
slow heavy
avoid compression
avoid speed
don’t forget rest
phase 3 energy storage calf raise dosage
2-3 days
skips
stair running
split squat
2 sets of 8 couple days rest
stage 4 dosage energy storage and release calf
must keep strength
byt faster and more speed
