Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: degrees
  • Column Name: Varies by phase and side; see Events/Phases
  • Measurement: Maximum hip flexion angle during the specified phase

​
Events / Phases

  • At Takeoff: Maximum hip flexion during the jumping phase (Initiation to Takeoff).
    • Column examples: jumping_left_hip_peak_flexion_angle, jumping_right_hip_peak_flexion_angle (bilateral); jumping_hip_peak_flexion_angle (single-leg).
  • At Landing: Maximum hip flexion during the landing absorption phase (Landing to Landing Bottom).
    • Column examples: landing_left_hip_peak_flexion_angle, landing_right_hip_peak_flexion_angle (bilateral); landing_hip_peak_flexion_angle (single-leg).

​
Description

Peak hip flexion refers to the maximum hip flexion angle during takeoff or landing. It reflects loading depth, technique, and absorption at the hip. The side and phase determines which column name applies.

​
Use Cases

  • Hip contribution to jump and landing
  • Technique and range of motion
  • Bilateral or single-leg comparison
