Expérimental et théorique Description
animal locomotion can be described using the formalism of an energy conversion machine. We can then derive a number of reduced observables enabling their characterization. 1/number of muscle fibers, 2/high-speed dissipation, 3/basal consumption.
Based on literature data, we want to systematically test the model, and in particular develop missing approaches: unsteady response, training, loads...
