  Title Limiting speed for jumping Type
  Year 2019 Publication Comptes Rendus Mecanique Abbreviated Journal C. R. Mec.

  Keywords Jumping; Take-off velocity; Locomotion; Limiting speed; Biomechanics  
  Abstract General mechanical considerations provide an upper bound for the take-off velocity of any jumper, animate or inanimate, rigid or soft body, animal or vegetal. The take-off velocity is driven by the ratio of released energy to body mass. Further, the mean reaction force on a rigid platform during push-off is inversely proportional to the characteristic size of the jumper. These general considerations are illustrated in the context of Alexander's jumper model, which can be solved exactly and which shows an excellent agreement with the mechanical results.
