    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Mathematical Modeling
    • Animal Behavior

    Background:

    • Describing cyclical motion in biological systems presents challenges.
    • Existing models may lack universality across species.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel, continuous model for cyclical motion analysis.
    • To establish a framework applicable to diverse species.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of the sinus equation.
    • Selection of a representative point on a body part.
    • Identification of a reference axis.
    • Continuous time representation.

    Main Results:

    • A continuous mathematical model for cyclical motion was developed.
    • The model utilizes key parameters: representative point, reference axis, and time.
    • The model's descriptive elements are consistent across different behaviors.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed sinus equation model offers a unified approach to describing cyclical motion.
    • This model demonstrates potential applicability to a wide range of species and behaviors.
    • Further research can explore its utility in comparative biomechanics.
