Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Movement Flag
  • Data Type: Integer
  • Units: N/A
  • Column Name: contact_phase_open_pelvis_rotation
  • Optimal Direction: Lower is better
  • Unknown Value: -1
  • Measurement: Pelvis rotation at Apex
  • Threshold: Pelvis rotation greater than -30°

Description

Contact phase open pelvis rotation is a binary indicator that flags when the pelvis has rotated too far towards the serve direction (past -30°) at the time of ball contact This indicates the hips are “opening up” too early relative to the arm and ball.

Use Cases

  • Rotational sequencing assessment
  • Mechanics evaluation
