  • Abstract
    This study uses the techniques of optimal control to model the cat during the take-off phase of a maximal vertical jump. A set of kinematic and neuromuscular measurements are compared with the results of the mathematical model, to suggest additional experiments and to enhance the physiologist´s understanding of normal movement.
