Shock Absorption
- Determine XZ values of knee and hip joint centers at timepoint of max knee flexion
- Calculate the difference in X and Z between knee and hip joint centers
- Calculate the thigh angle by inverse tangent of difference in Z over difference in X
- Metric calculated for Drop Jump, Triple Jump, Deceleration, Cut.
