Description
Peak arm angular velocity measures the maximum angular velocity (twist speed) of the upper arm segment during the pitch, indicating the peak rotational speed of the arm.Normative Ranges
Percentile distributions by competition level from the 2026 Q1 dataset; the optimal range spans the 75th–90th percentiles.Use Cases
- Arm power assessment
- Kinematic sequence analysis
