Description | Gastrocnemius Stress and Stiffness Research. Anecdotally, studies that have been completed by the research team have suggested that women generally have stiffer calves than men. A likely mechanism for this is that high heeled shoes keep the gastrocnemius muscle in a shortened position for great lengths of time leading to increased stiffness. As a result, researchers will be examining the effects of heeled shoes and how they play a role in calf stiffness, and potentially leading to increasing pain. | |
