Legs as linkages: an alternative paradigm for the role of tendons and isometric muscles in facilitating economical gait

Considerable attention has been given to the spring-like behaviour of stretching and recoiling tendons, and how this can reduce the work demanded from muscle for a given loss–return cycling of mechanical energy during high-speed locomotion. However, even completely isometric muscle–tendon units have...
