Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: deg
  • Column Name: average_elbow_angle_during_rotation
  • Aggregation: mean
  • Precision: 0
  • Measurement: Average throwing-arm elbow flexion angle
  • Timing: Between drive start and release events
  • Optimal Direction: Higher is better

Description

Average elbow angle during rotation measures the average flexion angle of the throwing elbow throughout the arm circle’s rotation phase, from drive start to release. Higher (more extended) values indicate a straighter arm through the circle.

Use Cases

  • Arm circle consistency assessment
  • Mechanics evaluation
