What is calf muscle exercise?

As the name suggests, calf muscle exercise is definitely caused by strenuous exercise. We usually exercise in various ways, such as running, sports equipment and so on. Our muscles will become tight after a long period of exercise. Once we take a rest after exercise, we may experience symptoms such as calf cramps, soreness and swelling. In fact, there is no need to worry as these are all normal phenomena. Here are some ways to deal with soreness and swelling:

There are two situations. Muscle soreness is not entirely the result of lactic acid. People usually experience muscle soreness when they first catch a cold. This is because the muscles are affected by the cold wind and produce something like "toxin", which is called "P" substance in the scientific community. It can also cause pain. This is probably the latter. If you don't exercise much on a normal day, slightly increasing the amount of exercise will cause muscle soreness. You can massage yourself or apply some ointment, essential oil, etc.

The main muscles of the calf are the triceps surae at the back, which include the two heads of the superficial gastrocnemius muscle, the deep soleus muscle, and the tibialis anterior muscle at the front of the calf. There are also some smaller muscle groups, such as the extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, as well as the tibialis posterior, peroneus longus, and peroneus brevis. The role of calf muscles is certainly not just to see who has the bigger calf muscles in bodybuilding competitions. Calf muscles play a vital role in the human body's standing, walking, running, and jumping. For example, when standing, the calf muscles must undergo moderate isometric contraction to maintain the stability of the ankle. Especially when a person stands on uneven ground, the calf muscles, under the control of the proprioception of the nerves, keep the ankle from excessively flexing to one side to avoid spraining the ankle or falling.

Nowadays, some people pay much attention to their appearance. Generally, people who are a little overweight will look for various ways of exercise to lose weight. In fact, choosing the exercise that suits you will not hurt your body. For example, every time you run, try not to jog, and rub your calves and thighs more, which can effectively relieve soreness and numbness.
