Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: degrees/second (°/s)
  • Column Name: peak_upper_arm_forward_angular_velocity
  • Measurement: Peak forward (somersault) angular velocity of the upper arm segment

Description

Peak upper arm forward angular velocity is the rotation speed of the upper arm in the serve direction (somersaulting forward). It is the second segment in the optimal Kinematic Sequence (torso → upper arm → forearm).

Use Cases

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