If you bend the knees while going on the balls of your feet then you are accessing the small soleus muscle which is a primary mechanism for weight modulation and a route to the fascia from feet to the body to help prevent ageing.
I assume you are referring to this study about the soleus and weight management? "A potent physiological method to magnify and sustain soleus oxidative metabolism improves glucose and lipid regulation" www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(22)01141-5?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2589004222011415%3Fshowall%3Dtrue I've wondered if this effect is simply the same as any activity associated with NEAT (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis). The soleus along with the other muscles in the lower leg is compartmentalized by the deep fascia (crural) and from my understanding is continuous with the plantar fascia. Any activity of the lower leg and foot would involve the fascia.
