Locomotor performance in juvenile and adult Sylvilagus floridanus

Data are from a long-term study of musculoskeletal growth, locomotor performance, and survivorship in Eastern Cottontail Rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus). Data include mean acceleration achieved over single half-bounding strides from a standing start, ground reaction force magnitudes for these strides, and peak COM power during these strides. Data were quantified using a combination of 3D video-based kinematics and force plate recordings.
