Abstract in brief

Bush crickets use their long, thin hind legs to perform rapid jumping and kicking movements, with detailed analysis linking muscle activity to these swift actions.
They can jump up to 300 mm at a velocity of 21 m/s, generating significant kinetic energy and reaching high rotational velocities, with their muscles producing a minimum power output of 40 mW.
Kicking involves quick tibial extensions that can occur with or without preceding flexion, with movement velocities closely related to the firing patterns of specific motor neurons, and hind legs significantly longer than the body, providing mechanical advantages for jumping and kicking.
