Implication
Knee angle must be standardized in plantar flexion testing; cross-sectional data leaves open causal and functional implications.

Outcome
Static and dynamic maximum plantar flexion torquessurrogate
Plantar flexion strength is greater with the knee fully extended compared to 90 degrees flexion, and correlates with calf circumference but not directly with triceps surae morphometric data in non-athletes.
