Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: degrees/second (°/s)
  • Column Name: peak_torso_forward_angular_velocity
  • Measurement: Peak forward (somersault) angular velocity of the torso segment in teh serve direction

Description

Peak torso forward angular velocity is the maximum angular velocity of the torso in the serve direction. It is the first segment in the optimal Kinematic Sequence (torso → upper arm → forearm), reflecting proximal-to-distal energy transfer.

Use Cases

  • Kinematic sequence and energy transfer
  • Technique quality (optimal sequence)
  • Comparison with peak upper arm and forearm velocities
