Abstract
BY means of high-speed flash cinematography it has been shown that the acceleration period of the jumping locust—the time taken to extend the metathoracic legs at their tibio-femoral joints—is about 20 msec. Measurements of the forces exerted by the feet during the jump confirm this time and show that the maximum force from the muscles is reached in from 3–8 msec after the start. Also the measurements show that in a maximum jump full extensor tension is available at this time.
