Description
Elbow flexion at launch measures the amount of rear elbow flexion at the launch event, indicating the arm position and loading when starting the power generation phase.Normative Ranges
Percentile distributions by competition level from the 2026 Q1 dataset; the optimal range spans the 25th–75th percentiles.Use Cases
- Arm position analysis
- Rear elbow mechanics assessment
- Technique optimization
