Great research from Tjerk Visser & colleagues has given us normative values for calf testing that go beyond reps alone!  Assessing peak height, total work & total displacement can provide valuable insight into calf function. Visser et al. (2025) 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

It's recommended that we load at ≥70% of 1 Rep Max during rehab but what does this translate to in terms of reps to fatigue? Nuzzo et al. (2024) suggests 70% of 1RM is ~15RM which is a good place to start with loading & can be progressed towards 6RM (& heavier) as symptoms allow
