Recovery Drills stretch #7 is which stretch?

• A. Single Leg Over
• B. Calf Stretch
• C. Groin Stretch
• D. Hamstring Stretch

Answer: (B)

The stretch labeled as the seventh recovery drill targets the calf muscles. Calf stretches lengthen the gastrocnemius and soleus, which helps improve ankle mobility and relieve tightness after standing or running activities. When you perform a calf stretch, you typically position yourself with one foot forward and the other back, heel pressed down and the knee of the back leg either straight or slightly bent, and you lean in to feel the stretch along the back of the lower leg above the Achilles tendon. That familiar sensation in the back of the lower leg is how you know you’re stretching the calves.

Other options focus on different areas: a hamstring stretch targets the back of the thigh, a groin stretch targets the inner thigh, and a Single Leg Over usually emphasizes hip or hamstring and inner-leg regions depending on form. Since stretch #7 is about lengthening the calves, Calf Stretch is the best match.
