Animal galloping and human hopping: an energetics and biomechanics laboratory exercise.
This laboratory exercise demonstrates fundamental principles of mammalian locomotion. It provides opportunities to interrogate aspects of locomotion from biomechanics to energetics to body size scaling. It has the added benefit of having results with robust signal to noise so that students will have success even if not "meticulous" in attention to detail. First, using respirometry, students mea...

متن کاملWhen skeletons are geared for speed: the morphology, biomechanics, and energetics of rapid animal motion.
A skeleton amplifies the minute contractions of muscles to animate the body of an animal. The degree that a muscular contraction displaces an appendage is determined by the gearing provided by the joints of a skeleton. Species that move rapidly commonly possess joints with relatively high gears that produce a large output displacement. However, the speed of an appendage can depend on dynamics t...
متن کاملAncient DNA from Human and Animal
Research on ancient DNA (aDNA) has the potential to enable molecular biologists and archeologists to decipher certain aspects of history by direct looking into the past. However, several major problems in this field limit the applicability of aDNA studies, most importantly contamination with modern DNA and postmortem DNA degradation. In this study we extracted and analyzed aDNA obtained from ~3...
متن کاملTaekwondo Biomechanics: Intersegmental Joint Coordination and Hopping Effect
The first purpose of the study was to investigate biomechanical characteristics of eight different Taekwondo kicks and to categorize them by the newly defined index of coordination of hip and knee joint motions. The second purpose was to investigate the effect of the rhythmic hop (habitually performed by athletes in Taekwondo sparring) in order to find whether rhythmic hop improves kicking perf...
