Elastic energy storage

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The effect of air resistance on the jump performance of a small parasitoid wasp, Anagyrus pseudococci (Encyrtidae)
    Tomer Urca, Gal Ribak
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb177600 doi: 10.1242/jeb.177600 Published 11 April 2018

    Summary: In a small sexually dimorphic parasitoid wasp, smaller males pay a higher penalty of air resistance during take-off jumps. Nevertheless, both sexes achieve outstanding jump heights compared with their body size.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Effects of temperature and force requirements on muscle work and power output
    Jeffrey P. Olberding, Stephen M. Deban
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 2017-2025; doi: 10.1242/jeb.153114

    Summary: The temperature at which a muscle shortens determines how the work, velocity and power of contraction are affected by the force of contraction.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The human iliotibial band is specialized for elastic energy storage compared with the chimp fascia lata
    Carolyn M. Eng, Allison S. Arnold, Andrew A. Biewener, Daniel E. Lieberman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2015 218: 2382-2393; doi: 10.1242/jeb.117952

    Summary: Musculoskeletal models developed from anatomical experiments reveal the biomechanical features that increase the potential of the human iliotibial band to store and recover elastic energy during bipedal walking compared with the chimp fascia lata.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLES
    Upper body contributions to power generation during rapid, overhand throwing in humans
    Neil T. Roach, Daniel E. Lieberman
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2014 217: 2139-2149; doi: 10.1242/jeb.103275
