Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: degrees/second (°/s)
  • Column Name: pelvis_peak_twist_angular_velocity
  • Measurement: Peak twist (transverse plane, like a tornado) angular velocity of the pelvis

Description

Peak pelvis twist angular velocity is the maximum twisting angular velocity of the pelvis in the transverse plane (like a tornado). It is the most proximal segment in the Twist Kinematic Sequence (pelvis-torso-upper_arm), reflecting lower-body contribution to the kinetic chain.

Use Cases

  • Twist kinematic sequence and energy transfer
  • Lower-body contribution to serve
  • Comparison with peak torso and upper arm twist velocities
