The Kinematic Sequence analysis might seem complicated at first because it describes so many critical elements of the swing. But those skilled in reading all the details of the Kinematic Sequence graph will practically be able to see the swing just from reading the graph. Dr. Phil Cheetham says that “It’s truly amazing when I look at a kinematic sequence signature graph, I can immediately tell whether that’s a tour pro or an amateur. The signatures are just so consistent.” Jorgensen T. (1970). On the dynamics of the swing of a golf club. American Journal of Physics 38( 5), 644-651 [ Google Scholar] He has an Honors Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, a Master of Science and a PhD in Exercise Science and Biomechanics from Arizona State University, Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A.For example, within the thigh, PE is at a relatively high value at toe-off, ready to contribute to KE when the swing phase begins. During early swing, as the thigh segment swings downward and forward, as PE decreases, it is then translated to KE, building KE, which then is utilized to ‘boost’ the thigh into its upward portion of the pendulum swing (hip flexion). At the point of maximum hip flexion of the swing phase, the KE has then been expended having assisted in the lifting of the thigh into maximum hip flexion; and PE has been increased, by virtue of the high thigh position (maximum hip flexion). This sequence of events was quantified and listed in ‘key finding’ #3 (Results Section 3.1.1.; Figure 1).

Kinetic energy – every object that moves has kinetic energy, and this is sometimes referred to as movement energy. The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends upon its mass and the speed at which it is moving. The more mass the object has and the faster it is moving, the more kinetic energy it has.

Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions—such as inputs, processes and outputs—and energy and matter flows within systems. With different studies, Closed Chain exercises were found to be more beneficial in shoulder rehabilitation than Open Chain for the following reasons: Unfortunately, Steindler did not quantify the term “considerable” in his initial definition, this leads to confusion and controversy as to what is considered a true closed kinetic chain movement. Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. Open kinetic chain exercises are typically characterized by a rotary stress pattern at the joint. For example, when doing a seated knee-extension the primary stress to the joint is the rotation of the distal tibia on the proximal femur even though other accessory movements like rolling and translation occur.
