Fig. 11. The sensitivity of jumping performance to variations in the magnitudes of the iliosacral extensor torque and the hindlimb torques examined using model 4. The torque pattern in Fig. 9 was used to drive the forward dynamics, and individual torques were scaled in amplitude by a factor of 0.80-1.20. HR, hip external rotation torque; HA, hip adduction torque; HE, hip extensor torque; KE, knee extensor torque; AE, ankle extensor torque; IE, iliosacral extensor torque. The take-off angle (trajectory of the center of mass, COM) was most sensitive to variations in the amplitude of the hip external rotation torque (i.e. the range of take-off angles was largest when HR was scaled from 0.80 to 1.20 of its base value). The horizontal velocity VH was most sensitive to variations in the hip extensor torque. The vertical velocity VV was most sensitive to variations in the hip external rotation torque and the knee extensor torque.
