I was asking the same question. I think it probably is the Gastrocnemius muscle but I'm having trouble confirming that. It could also potentially be the Soleus muscle.
Alternatively you could say that it is the Triceps Suraemuscle which refers to both the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus as a single muscle. This is a legitamite anatomical description seeing as the Gastrocnemius and the Soleus both attach via the Calcaneus tendon. The Triceps Surae is what is commonly refered to as the "calf muscle".
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
extensor digitorum longus, the extensor hallucus longus and the peroneus tertius muscles help dorsi flexiontibialis anterior
The prim mover for hip flexion is the Rectus femoris. This is a quadricep muscle that crosses the hip joint.

your rectus abdominis is the prime mover in a crunch exercise or spinal flexion
It depends on the movement. The prime movers for rotation are the splenius capitis and the sternocleidomastoid.

Prime mover is the bicep and the antagonist is the tricep.
gastrocnemiusThis muscle is a two-bellied muscle that forms the curved calf of the posterior leg. It arises by two heads, one from each side of the distal femur. It is a prime mover for plantar flexion of the foot.The gastrocnemius muscle is a two-bellied muscle that forms the curved calf of the posterior leg.gastrocnemius
The prime mover for knee flexion is biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus. The prime mover for knee extension is the Quadriceps â?? vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris
Fibularis Longus and Fibularis Brevis are both Plantar Flexes, page 222 of the Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manual (Elaine N. Marieb and Susan J. Mitchell. The prime movers for plantar flexion are the gastrocnemius and soleus (known together as the triceps surae). The gastrocnemius is the larger of the two muscles and is the one visible if you "flex" the calf by lifting your heel off the ground and putting pressure on the front of the foot.
