# Peak Arm Angular Velocity

> The instant the lead arm reaches its maximum rotational velocity during the downswing.

## Technical Details

* **Variable Type:** Event
* **Data Type:** Integer
* **Units:** Frame number
* **Column Name:** `peak_arm_angular_velocity_frame`
* **Required for QA:** False
* **Measurement:** Frame of maximum lead-shoulder angular velocity about the twist axis, searched between Top of Swing and Release
* **Timing:** Between P4 Top of Swing and P8 Release

## Description

This event identifies the moment when the lead arm reaches its maximum angular velocity during the downswing, representing the final link in the kinematic chain before impact.

## Use Cases
