Influence of different body proportions on the bounding model. (a) The average vertical force; (b) and (c) are the peak leg force for the rear trailing and the leading legs, respectively; (d) the peak ground reaction force; (e) the result of the indicator of the metabolic cost of transport; (f) the locomotion frequency. Initial conditions: , , , and .
