Built around biomechanics. Validated claims come next.
Research supports the wider use of biomechanics and inertial sensing in sport and tennis. SwingFlux separates that scientific context from product-specific validation.
RESEARCH CONTEXT
Why wearable biomechanics belongs on court.
Published work has explored inertial sensors for tennis serve and forehand kinematics and, more broadly, field-based sports performance measurement. Those studies motivate the approach; they do not by themselves validate a SwingFlux output.
Kinematics of the hand and key rotation in a tennis forehand drive
Used inertial sensing to quantify hand and upper-limb kinematics during the forehand.
In-field use of wearable inertial sensors for sport performance evaluation
A systematic review of wearable inertial sensing for field-based sport performance evaluation.

What SwingFlux still needs to prove.
Measurement validity
Compare relevant outputs against appropriate reference systems and documented protocols.
Repeatability
Quantify within-session and between-session reliability under realistic tennis conditions.
Coaching utility
Test whether outputs are understandable, actionable and useful within real coaching workflows.
Product robustness
Validate hardware, synchronization and data acquisition across representative on-court sessions.
