Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Movement Flag
  • Data Type: Integer
  • Units: N/A
  • Column Name: landing_phase_excessive_forward_lean
  • Optimal Direction: Lower is better
  • Unknown Value: -1
  • Measurement: Trunk forward flexion at Termination
  • Threshold: Trunk flexion greater than 60° past vertical

Description

Landing phase excessive forward lean is a binary indicator that flags if the trunk leans forward more than 60° at the finish of the serve. This can indicate lack of deceleration control, increased strain through the low back, and poor positioning to prepare for a return volley.

Use Cases

  • Follow-through and deceleration assessment
  • Injury risk identification
