Abstract: Two basic geometric invariants of a loop in an n-dimensional Alexandrov space X with curvature geq k is the length
and the total turning angle (which measures the closeness from being a geodesic). We show that either the length or the
total turning angle can be bounded from below in terms of n, k, the diameter and the rough volume of X. This generalizes
and improves some well known results.
