Figures & data
Figure 1. At pole plant (a) and pole-off (b) the following body angles were measured: pole angle in relation to vertical (1), elbow angle (2), ankle-shoulder to vertical (3), ankle-hand to vertical (4), tibia angle to vertical (5) and ankle-hip angle to vertical (6), hip angle (7) knee angle (8) and trunk angle to vertical (9).
