Quick Summary

In this randomized controlled trial, leg presses and leg extensions increased the size of different parts of the quadriceps, and calf exercises performed at different knee-joint angles had different effects on calf muscle growth.

What was studied?

How different exercises affect lower-body muscle growth.

Muscle thickness on the left and right legs at the mid-thigh or rectus femoris (RF), lateral thigh or vastus lateralis (VL), medial gastrocnemius (MG, calf muscle), lateral gastrocnemius (LG, calf muscle), and the soleus (calf muscle) was assessed using ultrasound imaging.
