Muscle fiber stability despite rising forces in wallabies extends tendon energy models; leaves open human cardiovascular or locomotor translation.
In tammar wallabies, elastic strain energy stored in hindlimb tendons increases with hopping speed without being dissipated by increased stretch of muscle fibers, supporting tendon elastic energy savings.
Biewener et al. (1998) studied this question.
