Potential Energy (PE)

Definition:
Potential Energy, or PE, refers to the stored energy of a dancer or body part when elevated against gravity. It is defined by:
PE = m × a × d
Where:

• m = mass at the Center of Gravity (COG)
• a = acceleration due to gravity (𝐅_g)
• d = vertical distance between the mass and the floor

In three-dimensional space, gravity may be modeled as:
𝐅_g = (0_x, 0_y, F_z)
indicating a vector force acting downward along the vertical axis.

Very important to note that Potential Energy (PE) is not stored in muscles
