Mean profiles for kinematic variables. (a) Mean ± SD (n = 5 cycles) axial displacement. (b) Mean ± SD (n = 5 cycles) percentage of different states during the fin and girdle muscle transitions. The grey bar represents a transition state. (c–f) Mean ± SD (n = 5 cycles) areas of the four fins. Each quadratic polynomial fitting line is indicated as a dashed line. (g,h) Mean ± SD (n = 5 cycles) girdle muscle length. Right pectoral fin (RF, right forefin), left pectoral fin (LF, left forefin), right pelvic (RH, right hindfin), left pelvic (LH, hindfin), right girdle muscle (RG) and left girdle muscle (LG).
