If men do not properly take care of their body after their runs, their body will slowly break down that will cause serious calf injuries. The calf actually consists of two major muscle groups called the gastrocnemius and the soleus. The gastrocnemius has two head, which actually make up the meatier upper section of the calf, while the soleus is more slender is at the lower part of the muscle. Both gastrocnemius and the soleus can be strained, but the medial head of the gastrocnemius is the most common location of injuries. Even though calf injuries are more of a problem for runners, they also occur quite frequently in other competitor sports such as, tennis, basketball, soccer, and cricket.
