# Peak Arm Angular Velocity

> The instant of lead arm peak angular velocity.

## Technical Details

* **Variable Type:** Event
* **Data Type:** Integer
* **Units:** Frame number
* **Column Name:** `peak_arm_velocity_frame`
* **Peak Detection Parameters:**
  * Minimum height: 250 deg/s
  * Minimum prominence: 500 deg/s
  * Distance to next peak: 24 frames (0.1 s)
  * Minimum width: 0.025 s (6 frames)

## Description

This event identifies the moment when the lead upper arm reaches its maximum angular velocity during the swing, representing the peak of the arm kinetic energy.

## Use Cases

* Arm power analysis
* Upper body mechanics assessment
* Peak velocity timing
* Swing sequence evaluation
