Dynamical determinants enabling two different types of flight in cheetah gallop to enhance speed through spine movement
Abstract Cheetahs use a galloping gait in their fastest speed range. It has been reported that cheetahs achieve high-speed galloping by performing two types of flight through spine movement (gathered and extended). However, the dynamic factors that enable cheetahs to incorporate two types of flight...
