... prevented growing guinea fowl ( Numida meleagris ) from jumping. We compared the jump performance of our treatment group at maturity with that of controls and measured the morphology of the gastrocnemius elastic system. We found that restricted birds jumped with lower jump power and work, yet there were...

... these factors, we measured electromyographic activity in eight hindlimb muscles of the guinea fowl ( Numida meleagris , N =6) during treadmill locomotion at two speeds (0.7 and 1.3 m s −1 ) and three terrain conditions at each speed: (i) level, (ii) repeated 5 cm low-contrast obstacles (<10% contrast, black...

... of the measured ground reaction forces and used to calculate total COM energy, as described in Materials and methods. We obtained five adult guinea fowl Numida meleagris L., body mass=1.95±0.28 kg, 21±1 cm standing hip height (mean ±s.e.m.), from a local breeder and clipped the primary feathers to prevent...

... fowl Numida meleagris lateral gastrocnemius (LG) and digital flexor-IV (DF-IV), during level and incline locomotion. During level locomotion, the LG and DF-IV exhibit differing muscle fascicle strain patterns: the LG shortens by 10-15% while developing force,whereas the DF-IV undergoes a stretch...
