How Calf Raises Helps You Grow Taller
Calf raises strengthen the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles while loading the bones of your lower legs. This loading stimulates bone remodeling, making your tibia and fibula stronger and denser. Strong calves also improve ankle stability, which is essential for proper posture and balance. The repetitive contraction also increases blood flow to your lower leg growth plates.
