Muscle designed for maximum short-term power output: quail flight muscle

Graham N. Askew, Richard L. Marsh
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2002) 205 (15): 2153–2160.

Published: 1 August 2002
...Graham N. Askew; Richard L. Marsh SUMMARY Take-off in birds at high speeds and steep angles of elevation requires a high burst power output. The mean power output of the pectoralis muscle of blue-breasted quail ( Coturnix chinensis ) during take-off is approximately 400 W kg -1 muscle...

The mechanical power output of the pectoralis muscle of blue-breasted quail ( Coturnix chinensis ): the in vivo length cycle and its implications for muscle performance

Graham N. Askew, Richard L. Marsh
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2001) 204 (21): 3587–3600.

Published: 1 November 2001
...Graham N. Askew; Richard L. Marsh SUMMARY Sonomicrometry and electromyographic (EMG) recordings were made for the pectoralis muscle of blue-breasted quail ( Coturnix chinensis ) during take-off and horizontal flight. In both modes of flight, the pectoralis strain trajectory was asymmetrical...

The mechanical power output of the flight muscles of blue-breasted quail ( Coturnix chinensis ) during take-off

Graham N. Askew, Richard L. Marsh, Charles P. Ellington
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (2001) 204 (21): 3601–3619.

Published: 1 November 2001
...Graham N. Askew; Richard L. Marsh; Charles P. Ellington SUMMARY Blue-breasted quail ( Coturnix chinensis ) were filmed during take-off flights. By tracking the position of the centre of mass of the bird in three dimensions, we were able to calculate the power required to increase the potential...
