weight transfer
Mass movement between points
Weight transfer is the shift of load from one part of a vehicle or body to another during movement.
When a car brakes, weight transfers to the front wheels; when accelerating, to the rear.
In sports and martial arts, weight transfer from one foot to another generates power: The boxer's punch derived its force from weight transfer through his hips.
Race car drivers and motorcyclists manipulate weight transfer to optimize traction and cornering.
