wrist rotation
Turning your palm
Wrist rotation is the turning movement of the hand around the axis of the forearm—palm up to palm down or vice versa.
The term appears in fitness contexts for exercises targeting forearm muscles, in medical descriptions of joint mobility, and in sports instruction for techniques requiring precise hand positioning: Focus on your wrist rotation during the golf swing.
