Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: seconds (s)
  • Column Name: descent_time, mean_descent_time
  • Optimal Direction: N/A
  • Measurement: Time from Stand to Sit of the same repetition

​
Variants

  • Descent Time (descent_time) (per repetition): time from Stand to Sit.
  • Mean Descent Time (mean_descent_time) (summary): average Descent Time across all analyzed repetitions.

​
Description

Descent Time is the duration of the sitting-down portion of each repetition. A short Descent Time contributes to a faster test, but a very short descent can indicate an uncontrolled drop into the chair, so it has no single optimal direction.
