For Rana, b is the moment hindlimbs just leave the ground; c is the initial time of flight; d is the moment forelimbs hit the ground; e is the moment the body hits the ground; f is the moment all limbs land on ground. For Xenopus, b is the moment hindlimbs is about to leave; c is the moment hindlimbs just takeoff from the ground; d is the moment the body hits the ground; e is the moment whole body land on ground, and all limbs are about to rotate to recover preparation posture.
