| Dynamic resources of locomotion include the capability to actively produce appropriately timed muscle forces and to store elastic energy through soft tissues. This involves rapid termination of eccentric loading followed by a brief isometric phase and an explosive rebound relying on stored elastic energy and a powerful reflex muscle contraction. The first integral is the elastic energy and the last integral is the surface energy. |
