Technical Details
- Variable Type: Discrete Metric
- Data Type: Float
- Units: degrees/second (°/s)
- Column Name:
peak_forearm_forward_angular_velocity - Measurement: Peak forward (serve-direction) angular velocity of the forearm segment, typically near Apex
Description
Peak forearm forward angular velocity is the maximum angular velocity of the forearm in the serve direction. It is the third segment in the optimal Kinematic Sequence (torso → upper arm → forearm), reflecting distal segment speed at contact.Use Cases
- Kinematic sequence and energy transfer
- Technique quality (optimal sequence)
- Racket speed proxy and comparison with torso/upper arm
