triceps surae
(anatomy) The combination of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.
Examples
Conversely, a mid/forefoot strike has been associated with greater efficiency and lower injury risk due to the triceps surae being used as a lever system to absorb forces with the muscles eccentrically rather than through the bone.
The triceps surae is the primary plantar flexor and its strength becomes most obvious during ballet dancing.
