[Tele-electromyography of various quadriceps femoris muscle bundles during locomotion in a Madagascar lemur (Lemur fulvus)].
The vastus lateralis muscle is of primary importance in leaping inasmuch as it initiates the jumps; on the contrary the activity of the vastus intermedius does not increase during jumping, but it is the only one to be active in quadrupedal resting postures.
