Bent-Arm Hang: Males, Age 11

The Bent-Arm Hang (also called the flexed arm hang) is the Eurofit battery measure of upper-body muscular endurance. The participant hangs from a bar with arms bent (chin above bar level) and holds for as long as possible. Data are from Tomkinson et al. (2018), a pooled analysis of 189,673 European children and adolescents from 23 countries aged 9–17.
