The Heel / Toe Walking is a great way to develop the musculature of the Calves, as well as stability at the end ranges of the Ankle joint (which is a very prone area for Sprains). The movement is quite simple, but the nature of the movement keeps you under constant tension and therefore elicits a high volume (which is required with Calves for there to be an adequate amount of duress on the muscles).
Prescription Options:
- The Heel / Toe Walking can be implemented within your training routine as a medium to develop the components mentioned above.
- They can also be used as a ‘Priming’ exercise during a warmup before training or competitions.
