Most young athletes need to be reminded of how important their arms are for speed and power. Once in place, the Running Arms™ position the arms in the ideal 90 degree angle recommended for efficient running. The simple design uses a length of soft, stretchy lycra that wraps around the elbow, held in place with comfortable, stitched loops on the thumb.
Adjust the length for different sized athletes using the Velcro tab on the back.
- Better mechanics = Faster times

From Runners World:
The way you move your arms can help you move faster or slow you down. “Your arms should be at a 90-degree angle,” says Nurse. Your palms or fists move from chin to hip. That’s going to help you propel your body forward. Keep your elbows close to your sides. “If your elbows point outwards, that means your arms are crossing your body, which actually slows you down—you won’t be able to get the momentum you need,” says Fierras. Try pointing your thumbs to the ceiling to keep your arms in line or imagining an invisible line that runs down the center of your body—don't let your hands cross over that line.

While Running Arms are a great way to bring awareness to arm mechanics while running, there are definitely other tips for arm shaping that running experts recommend! 1) Encourage athletes to keep their arms near their body, and NOT crossing over them midline as they swing forward. 2) Hands and wrists should remain relaxed and loose. 3) Elbows should drive backward as far as possible.
