How to restore leg muscle atrophy?

Once the muscles of the human body atrophy, many functions of the body will become abnormal. Clinically, muscle atrophy is an immune disease, such as leg muscle atrophy, etc. If patients want to control the disease, they need regular and reasonable treatment, and at the same time, they must cooperate with some functional exercises. For calf exercises, the most important thing is the number of exercises. So how to restore leg muscle atrophy?

First, how to restore leg muscle atrophy? The common method of calf exercises is to complete the prescribed number of sets and repetitions with fixed weights. The result of this kind of training is that the stimulation to the small muscles in the calf is not deep or comprehensive, and the muscles cannot be completely fatigued. Because when you do the first 2-3 sets with a fixed weight, you are exerting force on the strongest part of your muscles, which ensures that you complete the exercise with the correct posture. However, in the subsequent exercises, the phenomenon of borrowing force will appear, and the exercise will be completed before the small muscles reach fatigue. This will not stimulate more muscle fibers, especially the stimulation of deep muscle fibers is insufficient and incomplete.

Second, there is another exercise method, which is the incremental method, that is, increasing the weight and reducing the number of times as the number of sets increases. By gradually increasing the weight, you continue to put more stress on the exercise area and break through the muscle's adaptability. This weight-adding method is the best choice for training large muscle groups, but it may not be effective for training calf muscles. Because when you use the incremental method to train your calves, as the number of sets and weights increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to complete the movement. In subsequent exercises, the phenomenon of leveraging force will also appear, the movement will not be deformed, the stimulation will not be focused or the "peak contraction" will not be reached, so that some muscles will not be stimulated or the stimulation will not be deep and thorough. Although gradually increasing the weight improves the ability to lift heavy objects, the growth of each individual muscle in the muscle group is small. In addition, the calves are resistant to fatigue, and it is difficult to reach their fatigue limit by using heavy weights and low repetitions. Only small to medium-intensity weights and high-repetition stimulation of more than 12 times can push the calves to the fatigue limit.

How to restore leg muscle atrophy? As the weight decreases, the psychological pressure caused by the weight can be eliminated, avoiding extra physical effort, and more concentration can be placed on the movement process to achieve extreme contraction and ensure the quality of the movement; secondly, as the weight decreases, the number of sets and repetitions increases, which can mobilize more muscle fibers to participate in the work. In addition, as the weight decreases and the number of times increases, the muscle tension is greater and more lasting, more motor units are involved in the work, and the efficiency is higher. This can effectively promote muscle growth.
