Table 1.

Ankle plantar flexion maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), number of fascicles used to calculate trimmed means for medial gastrocnemius (MG) and lateral gastrocnemius (LG) muscle fascicle behavior for each subject, and total number of subjects included in the final analysis. Also provided are the number of fascicles used to calculate mean muscle fascicle behavior for proximal (MGprox) and distal (MGdist) regions of MG
