Slant board

A slant board is a board set at an angle or slant. Such boards may be used for a variety of exercises. There are two varieties:

  1. a long padded board which will accommodate the full length of the lying body
  2. a smaller wooden platform for standing upon.

Calf muscles

The calf muscles or triceps surae may be stretched by a daily exercise of standing upon a slant board.[1]
