CARRYING ANGLE IN HUMAN LOCOMOTION AND SPORTS TALENT SPOTTING:
Females hang and swing their arms in a partially supinated with a oblique angle from the elbow,this is called the ''carrying angle''.This angle is more from vertical among the females with relatively more wider hips than their shoulders.
Coaches and sports trainers should be able to assess/foresee this factor at the early childhood and select and motivate children genetically endowed with lesser carrying angle for their respective sports. This factor enables them to be more efficient in their locomotion by reducing/eliminating eccentric thrust of the arm swing in every stride of movement.This bio-mechanical factor helps in all the sports events,which includes the tennis ground strokes also.
