Abstract
Lutz and Rome characterized the design of the frog muscular system for jumping by comparing the properties of isolated muscle with the operating conditions of muscle measured during maximal jumps. The frog muscular system appears to be designed to meet the three necessary conditions for maximal power generation during jumping: optimal myofilament overlap, optimal V/Vmax and maximal activation.
