Description

Many lower limb muscles' exhibit architecture that is adaptable to injury and training in a way that may influence performance. The soleus is yet to be examined in this capacity. It is important to understand if and how soleus muscle architecture changes, and drivers of that change, as soleus is responsible for up to 60% of propulsion during running. This thesis will examine and compare different training programs on soleus muscle architecture. It will examine the effect of previous injury and sex on these adaptations.
