Technical Details
- Variable Type: Discrete Metric
- Data Type: Float
- Units: seconds (s); percent (%) for Change
- Column Name:
rise_time,mean_rise_time,rise_time_change - Optimal Direction: Lower is better
- Measurement: Time from Seat Off to Stand of the same repetition
Variants
- Rise Time (
rise_time) (per repetition): time from Seat Off to Stand. - Mean Rise Time (
mean_rise_time) (summary): average Rise Time across all analyzed repetitions. - Rise Time Change (
rise_time_change) (summary): percent change from the first to the last valid repetition,100 × (last − first) / first. Positive values mean the rise got slower. Requires at least two valid repetitions.
Description
Rise Time is the duration of the standing-up portion of each repetition. A shorter Rise Time reflects a faster, more powerful rise. Rise Time Change compares only valid repetitions, so a final partial stand does not distort the trend.Use Cases
- Speed of the rise, separate from the descent
- Fatigue across repetitions
- Comparison with Descent Time to assess movement control
