The main function of the upper body and arm action is to provide balance and promote efficient movement.... The normal arm action during distance running involves shoulder extension to pull the elbow straight back; then as the arm comes forward, the hand will move slightly across the body.... The arm action also contributes a little to the vertical lift during the propulsion phase which may help the runner to be more efficient, reducing the work done by the legs. 2, record 1, English, - arm%20action
