Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
The objective of this study was to clarify the characteristics of gastrocnemius muscle activities during heel rise, walking, and manual resistance. The gastrocnemius activities were greater during heel rise than those during walking. This could be attributed to the difference in the mechanical energy between a heel rise and during walk and not owing to the difference in ankle joint moment.
