Biomechanical Analysis of Weighted-Ball Exercises for Baseball Pitchers
BACKGROUND Weighted-ball throwing programs are commonly used in training baseball pitchers to increase ball velocity. The purpose of this study was to compare kinematics and kinetics among weighted-ball exercises with values from standard pitching (ie, pitching standard 5-oz baseballs from a mound). HYPOTHESIS Ball and arm velocities would be greater with lighter balls and joint kinetics woul...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison between elite female and male baseball pitchers.
The purpose of the current study was to identify the biomechanical features of elite female baseball pitching. Kinematics and kinetics of eleven elite female baseball pitchers were reported and compared with eleven elite male pitchers. Results suggested that females share many similarities with males in pitching kinematics, with a few significant differences. Specifically, at the instant of str...
متن کاملA numerical model for risk of ball-impact injury to baseball pitchers.
INTRODUCTION Metal baseball bats produce higher ball exit velocity (BEV) than wood bats, increasing the risk of impact injuries to infield players. In this paper, maximum BEV from a wood and a metal bat were determined using the finite element method. METHODS Three-dimensional (3-D) bat kinematics at the instant of impact were determined from high-speed videography (N = 17 high-performance ba...
متن کاملShoulder proprioception in baseball pitchers.
We examined proprioceptive differences between the dominant and nondominant shoulders of 21 collegiate baseball pitchers without a history of shoulder instability or surgery. A proprioceptive testing device was used to measure kinesthesia and joint position sense. Joint position sense was significantly (P =.05) more accurate in the nondominant shoulder than in the dominant shoulder when startin...
متن کاملBaseball Spin and Pitchers’ Performance
The motion of the ball thrown by a pitcher is influenced by three forces: gravity, drag force due to air resistance, and lift force which deflects a ball vertically or laterally due to ball spin. The lift force acting on the ball increases with spin rate and movement speed when the spin axis of the ball is orthogonal to the direction of ball movement. Among individual pitchers there were great ...
