Single leg muscle forces are plotted against the corresponding peak ground reaction forces for each trial. Data from a single individual is represented by a unique symbol. Data from all individuals were grouped together to calculate the trendline for each muscle. a Metatarso-phalangeal flexors. b Ankle extensors (synergistic plantaris forces not pictured). c Knee extensors (antagonistic gastrocnemius force not pictured). d Hip extensors; antagonistic rectus femoris not pictured
