Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: String
  • Units: N/A
  • Column Name: kinematic_sequence
  • Measurement: Order in which segments (e.g., hip-knee-ankle) reach peak angular velocity during the jump

Description

Kinematic sequence describes the order of peak angular velocities across lower extremity segments (and optionally trunk/arms) during the jump. An efficient sequence typically progresses from proximal to distal (e.g., hip → knee → ankle), supporting energy transfer and jump height.

Use Cases

  • Technique and sequencing quality
  • Comparison with optimal sequence
  • Training and coaching feedback
