Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: degrees (°)
  • Column Name: Varies by squat type (see Events/Phases)
  • Measurement: Maximum ankle flexion angle during the squat

​
Events / Phases

  • Bodyweight / Overhead (bilateral): peak_left_ankle_flexion_angle, peak_right_ankle_flexion_angle.
  • Single leg: peak_ankle_flexion_angle (stance leg only).
  • SFMA: sfma_squat_left_ankle_peak_angle, sfma_squat_right_ankle_peak_angle (documented as “Maximum Left/Right Ankle Angle”).

​
Description

Peak ankle flexion is the maximum ankle (dorsiflexion) angle achieved during the squat, typically at or around Bottom. It reflects ankle mobility and is used in bodyweight, overhead, single-leg, and SFMA squats.

​
Use Cases

  • Ankle mobility and range of motion
  • Bilateral comparison
  • Movement quality and consistency
