- 发现手腕等看似不动的关节需巨大且动态变化的力矩来对抗重力和耦合效应。
- 为运动员训练和康复提供力学依据,适合生物力学与运动科学领域研究者。
传统网球发球生物力学研究多依赖现象观察或基于运动数据的统计分析,虽能描述精英选手的动作特征,却难以解释其物理必要性。本文提出一种基于物理规律的确定性方法,采用12自由度多段人体上半身模型,不依赖运动捕捉数据拟合,而是通过轨迹优化求解逆运动学,严格满足平击、切削和上旋发球所需的空气动力学边界条件。随后基于虚功原理进行逆动力学分析,计算出各关节净力矩。仿真结果表明,尽管不同发球的运动轨迹视觉相似,但其内部受力特性差异显著。关键发现是:在角位移极小(运动学‘静默’)的关节,如手腕,需承受巨大且高度时变的力矩以抵消重力和动态耦合效应。该研究揭示了运动学与动力学之间的脱节,建立了从第一性原理理解网球发球力学的框架,超越单纯模仿顶级技术。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Most conventional studies on tennis serve biomechanics rely on phenomenological observations comparing professional and amateur players or, more recently, on AI-driven statistical analyses of motion data. While effective at describing \textit{what} elite players do, these approaches often fail to explain \textit{why} such motions are physically necessary from a mechanistic perspective. This paper proposes a deterministic, physics-based approach to the tennis serve using a 12-degree-of-freedom multi-segment model of the human upper body. Rather than fitting the model to motion capture data, we solve the inverse kinematics problem via trajectory optimization to rigorously satisfy the aerodynamic boundary conditions required for Flat, Slice, and Kick serves. We subsequently perform an inverse dynamics analysis based on the Principle of Virtual Power to compute the net joint torques. The simulation results reveal that while the kinematic trajectories for different serves may share visual similarities, the underlying kinetic profiles differ drastically. A critical finding is that joints exhibiting minimal angular displacement (kinematically ``quiet'' phases), particularly at the wrist, require substantial and highly time-varying torques to counteract gravitational loading and dynamic coupling effects. By elucidating the dissociation between visible kinematics and internal kinetics, this study provides a first-principles framework for understanding the mechanics of the tennis serve, moving beyond simple imitation of elite techniques.
