Figure 2. (Top) Impulse positions in a cheetah's body (Below) Criterion for flight types against measured cheetah data. Solutions obtained from the model yielded two determining criteria for flight type: the position and magnitude of impulse (ground reaction force) to the cheetah's body. Researchers identified the impulse positions for their model and compared them with measured data.
