Nerd Math - 6 Degrees of Freedom in relation to Athletic Training and Coaching - XYZ RQS

[@morvarid73]

what Mark teaches here doesn't exist in any textbook. this channel has such a value and I feel so lucky that I bumped into your channel couple of years ago while I was searching TGU tutorials :)

[@antonomaseapophasis5142]

Followed the same path.

[@romanarcturus7335]

Totally agree with that. But to be able to see and understand the value Mark Wildman is giving us for free - you need to walk a long path beforehand

My aunt used to bring yam rolls to Thanksgiving each year. We would all say, "yay!"

[@AxDuncan2635]

I freaking love this! I remember starting out following Mark for the kettlebell training, I would never imagine he’d teach me how to be a better trainer. Thanks Mark 🤘🏻

[@rudycanda]

This channel is just a treasure trove of fitness info thats practical and expandable at the same time. Thank you for all the great content, Mr.Wildman!

spelled yaw wrong twice lol. Great video, was thinking about this the other day. Thanks for the analysis.

For real. Everyone knows it has two “L” at the end. 🙄

[@Ivasan7]

Thumbs up for definition of coach, I like how thinking and training is promoted as an integral concept!

[@randyallen2771]

What a wonderful analysis and evaluation technique. Thanks.

[@shantanusapru]

We've discussed this before/I've mentioned this before, for humans, what you call "yaw" is actually "roll" (& vice versa), that's cuz even though the terminology is borrowed from ships/planes, their 'natural state' is considered horizontal, while a human being's 'natural state' is considered vertically erect...hence the axes change... Anyway, doesn't take anything away from the concepts...just a pedantic quibble...

[@dsvenjohnson83]

It makes sense only if you think ships and planes follow human form. Pitch, roll, and yaw is based on the FWD movement of an object, so it doesn’t matter how it’s longest side is positioned (horizontal/vertical) 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BigHat83]

@@dsvenjohnson83 thanks for this clarification.

[@a.lame.username.]

Nice one! The things you learning around here are amazing.

[@nadiadozova6515]

I think I remember the conversation. The movements are defined in respect to the z axis (of a xyz coordinate system). For a plane it is the long axis of the plane. In physics (classical or quantum mechanics) z is usually vertical (the "plane" of the earth surface is the xy plane). Ie you need to turn the plane nose towards the sky to compare it to a human ;-)

[@shantanusapru]

@@nadiadozova6515 Something of that sort... :-) In medicine, the coordinate system is defined around the 'natural state' of a human being which is a very specific position - standing up straight with palms facing forwards (to simplify it). According to this, the X, Y, Z axes don't matter as much (as they become as it is relative, depending on whether a human is supine, prone, standing straight, upside down, lying in a lateral position etc), but the craniocaudal/superoinferior, mediolateral (Rt-Lt) & antero-posterior (dorso-ventral) axes are more relevant, and everything is defined/described around those. Thus, the 'reference coordinate system' is human-centric (in the anatomical position) and not 'space'-centric (for lack of a better word)... With/Within this 'coordinate system', there are both translational motions/movements as well as rotational movements/motions. A 'roll' is a rotational motion around the craniocaudal axis (usually, there are exceptions) (like the shaking head 'no' motion); a 'pitch' is a rotational motion around the mediolateral axis (like the nodding head 'yes' motion), and a 'yaw' is a rotational motion around the anteroposterior axis (like the 'lateral flexion' of the neck/head motion). There are a few exceptions, but I won't go into them... Also, one must keep in mind, that in the multi-jointed, multi-segmented human body having multiple degrees of freedom, even within one 'plane' (unlike 'rigid' objects like boats/planes), there are no 'pure' rotational motions, as they are almost always accompanied with some translational movement - there are a few exceptions to this as well... :-) Cheers!

Wow .Excellent video. Thank you.

[@nildaaguila14]

Thanks so much, this is great. Can you recommend a career path for someone who wants to be a coach?

[@evanhaveman]

Nice, more foundational content! But damn, that top gun analogy went dark.

[@FrancescoCelauro7]

Engineering background showing 😂 great stuff! First principle applied to training. Cheers

[@andriikoshurko6551]

thank you

[@rcg5317]

OK, what about this: scoring an exercise based on the value of each axis displaced from the origin BUT the origin always has a positive value for HEAVE (H), minimum value of ‘1’ since you are using your body in the gravity vector as a minimum or are heaving additional value as a weight of some sort. So you have one dependent variable and five independent variables for the exercise.

Hey Mark, curious why you don't reference Tacfit for this and the 8 key components video. The terminology is straight from Tacfit is it not?

[@stevenmishos]

These terms predate Tacfit. Also, Hitchens's razor.

[@icarus127]

@@stevenmishos Fair enough, where do they originate from? Not sure how Hitchen's razor applies here =)

[@icarus127]

@@stevenmishos haha yes okay, those terms predate Tacfit, I was not claiming Tacfit invented the 6 axes of translation and rotation in 3d space. Did anyone use them in this way prior to Tacfit? The presentation of these is very similar to the Tacfit 6 degree course, and Mark was certified in CST at one point. I'm not critiquing Mark here, I think the content is phenomenal. I appreciate being able to find the sources that inform a very dense 5 minute youtube video so I can go deeper personally.
