Thanks for the education, I have a change to learn which is great!! I am a 5 hcp and not an expert by any means.
Is there a relation to what the force-plates data is showing and the movement of the pelvis or other parts? The reason for asking is that I have heard the expression "turn your upper body towards a stable lower body". What does this mean?
Last, do the feet move the knees and legs and do the legs move the pelvis?
Maybe these questions are not the right questions, anyway I realize I need some more knowledge.
The best answers will come from somebody above my pay grade, but I know that Nesbit found the "typical" sequence of joint stabilization to be correct (1st - left ankle, 2nd - right ankle, 3rd - left knee, right knee, etc...).
However, I think that some of the newer research is showing that there is more to the "optimal" kinematic sequence than originally thought. If the mass of the trunk, for example, is excessively heavy compared to the mass of the arms, I think you'll want a different looking sequence (perhaps less deceleration prior to the arms peaking) than if it weren't.
