2m 10s
THE WHAT:
The fundamental calf-raise is essentially a progressive prehabilitation and conditioning context which stimulates the ankle-plantarflexion muscles & connective tissues. At the same time, worked through a FULL range of motion (i.e. maximal STRETCH in the bottom position to maximal FLEXION in the top position) it can contribute to mobility-development of ankle-dorsiflexion, although more appropriately for conditioning & "accustoming" to range developed in more targeted & potent dorsiflexion-range drills (e.g. 'Floor calf-pulses' and 'Wedge-pulses').
