Dynamic mechanical model of human body with Muscle-Tendon Unit (MTU) is considered by Bond Graph. This model is based on the principle of lever mechanism, in which the pivot is on the end of the foot, i.e. the toe, instead of the pivot on the ankle joint. Based on this new model we have calculated the tension and the displacement of the tendon by use of the identify of stiffness of tendon and experimental data (Kawakami et al. 2002). The results of the simulation have good agreement with experimental results (Kawakami et al. 2002). So the validation of this new model is considered exactly collect. We have also the tendon extensive speeds and the power through it. This result are visualized that how tendon is behaved with respect to time.
