Plus, we only know that this works for the calf muscles.

另外，我们只知道这对小腿肌肉有效。

Muscle hypertrophy, as measured by muscle thickness in two sites of the gastrocnemius, the larger calf muscle, once more increased in both sexes.

通过腓肠肌（较大的小腿肌肉）两个部位的肌肉厚度测量，两个性别都有在肌肉增长方面都有所增加。

First, for muscle hypertrophy, or growth, both groups showed similar improvements in six muscle sites measured, three in the calf muscles and three in the quad muscles.

首先，对于肌肉生长而言，两组在测量的六个肌肉部位都显示出相似的改善，三个肌肉部位在小腿，三个在四头肌。

The lateral calf muscle was measured as well where the numbers were not as statistically significant but the effect size is still favor the initial range of motion.

小腿外侧肌也进行了测量，其中的数字没有统计学意义，但效果仍然是初始运动范围的最有效。

In this case, the results showed that after 8 weeks at a 3.4 percent relative increase training in the final range of motion achieved the least growth in the medial calf muscle.

在这种情况下，结果显示，在后半程运动范围的运动量相对增加了 3.4% 后，训练 8 个星期，小腿内侧肌肉的增长是最小的。

When you ride a bike, I don't really know what, like, my left calf muscle is doing, or how my latissimus dorsi knows to engage when I wobble to the right.

当你骑自行车时，我真的不知道我的左小腿肌肉在做什么，或者当我向右摆动时我的背阔肌如何知道参与。

In this study with calf muscles this time, the researchers not only compared muscle growth outcomes between training in the initial and final ranges of motion but also pitted them against yes full range of motion.

在这次对小腿肌肉的研究中，研究人员不仅比较了初始运动范围和后半程运动范围训练的肌肉生长结果，还将它们与全幅度训练进行了比较。

One study in 2020 showed that dorsiflexion range of motion, or range of motion of the ankle, had a moderately sized 18.4% increase after using the massage gun on the calf muscles for just 5 minutes beforehand.

2020年的一项研究表明，提前 5 分钟在小腿肌肉上使用按摩枪后，背部屈曲活动范围或踝关节活动范围增加了 18.4%。
