Fig. 8. Plots of fascicle strain (AC) and strain rate (DF) in the
biceps and vastus as a function of speed. For the biceps (A,D), N=5
for all speeds except 4.0 m s1 where N=4. All
animals exhibited walking at 1.1 and 1.5 m s1, trotting at
2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 m s1 and galloping at 4.0 m
s1; at 3.5 m s1, two animals used
trotting, one galloping, and two both trotting and galloping. For the vastus
(B,C,E,F), N=7 for all speeds except 4.0, where N=6. All
animals exhibited walking at 1.1 and 1.5 m s1, trotting at
2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 m s1 and galloping at 4.0 m
s1; at 3.5 m s1, four animals used
trotting, two galloping, and two both trotting and galloping. All vastus data
are from middle implantation locations.
