body rotation
Torso twisting motion
Body rotation is the turning or twisting of the torso around its vertical axis.
The term appears most often in sports and physical training, where rotating the body generates power: Good body rotation is essential for a strong golf swing.
In swimming, body rotation reduces drag and improves stroke efficiency.
The phrase also describes turning the whole body to face a different direction.
