What is "calf"?

The calf refers to the muscular area located at the back of the lower leg, between the knee and the ankle. It is primarily formed by the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, which work together to allow for plantar flexion of the foot (pointing the toes downwards) and assist in walking, running, and jumping movements. The calf muscles are among the strongest in the body and play a crucial role in providing power and propulsion during locomotion. They also contribute to maintaining proper balance and stability. Understanding the anatomy and function of the calf is important for lower limb strength, endurance, and overall lower body performance.
