This study aims to analyze the hook technique in arm wrestling by athletes from the Indonesian Arm Wrestling Association (POGTI) in Semarang based on a biomechanical review. The study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The research subjects consisted of 10 POGTI athletes in Semarang who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected by recording videos of the hook technique, which were then analyzed using Kinovea version 0.9.5. The variables analyzed included the angles of the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, foot position, shoulder distance, and movement characteristics in the preparation, execution, and completion phases, both in attacking and defending conditions. The results showed that an effective hook technique was characterized by progressive wrist flexion, an optimal elbow angle to generate maximum torque, and a more compact body posture in the final phase. Effectiveness in attacking was influenced by wrist flexion speed and elbow stability, while in defending it was determined by the ability to maintain joint angles and postural stability.
