Book excerpt: Rotational movements are considered an important component of hitting mechanics within the game of softball. Strength and conditioning coaches seek to improve the performance of softball players' bat velocity through various weighted implement training modes focusing on rotational movements. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if an 8-week rotational medicine ball training protocol would increase bat velocity in a game like situation for prepubescent softball players. It was hypothesized that an 8-week rotational medicine ball training program would result in the greatest increase in bat velocity among prepubescent softball players. METHODS: Twenty-seven female prepubescent softball players (mean age = 10.2 + 1.2) participated in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to a medicine ball training (MB = 13) or control (CON = 14) group. Pre- and Post-testing consisted of warming up with 10 dry swings using the bat they normally use during competition followed by 10 hits off a pitching machine. Pitch speed was 30-40 mph depending on age. During the 8 weeks of training, the MB group completed a series of medicine ball throws that were aimed at developing rotational velocity. Exercises included side medicine ball throw for distance, side medicine ball throw for speed, partner russian twists, woodchoppers and standing side band rotations which were all done on both dominant and non-dominant sides. 8-10 year old participants used a 4-kg medicine ball while 11-13 year olds used a 6-kg medicine ball. 1 set of 12 repetitions was completed 2x/wk. RESULTS: A Repeated Measures ANOVA with a Randomized Cross-Over Design revealed no significant difference between conditions from pre- to post-testing (F=1.9, p=.18) and no significant difference over time in either group (F= .33, p= .57). Pre-test average velocity for CON = 36.1mph (+ 6.6) and MB = 36.8mph (+ 5.4). Post-test average velocity for CON =38.2mph (+ 8.6) and MB = 37.7mph (+ 4.4). CONCLUSION: Medicine ball training offers no additional benefits compared to normal in-season activities in prepubescent softball players. Mean velocity from pre- to post-testing did increase in both conditions, but not significantly. However, a more rigorous training program may prove to be more beneficial.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Introduction: Limited research has been found examining the effects of lower body training on throwing velocity. Most studies have focused on training the upper part of the body, neglecting the impact the lower body has on the throwing motion. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of lower body training on throwing velocity when combined with short and long toss throwing programs. Methods: Twenty Four members of a collegiate baseball team were placed into 4 groups according to their pre-test throwing velocity and participated in a 5-week throwing and training program. Two of the groups performed short toss (ST and STWT), with one short toss group also involved in weight training exercises. The other two groups threw long toss (LT and LTWT) and one of those groups participated in the weight training program. Results: Twenty-two participants completed the five-week training protocol and were considered in data analysis. There was no significant interaction between time (pre vs. post) and group, F(2, 18)=0.611, p>.05. There were no significant main effects for time (pre to post), F(1, 18)=0.496, p>.05 or group (LT, ST, LTWT, STWT), F(2, 18)=.061, p>.05. This five week strength training and throwing program had no effect on throwing velocity"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Biomechanics introduces the exciting world of how human movement is created and how it can be improved. Teachers, coaches and physical therapists all use biomechanics to help people improve movement and decrease the risk of injury. The book presents a comprehensive review of the major concepts of biomechanics and summarizes them in nine principles of biomechanics. Fundamentals of Biomechanics concludes by showing how these principles can be used by movement professionals to improve human movement. Specific case studies are presented in physical education, coaching, strength and conditioning, and sports medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential new volume in the Encyclopaedia of Sports Medicine series, published under the auspices of the International Olympic Committee, provides a thorough overview of the unique physiologic characteristics, responsiveness to training, and possible health hazards involved in the training, coaching, and medical care of young athletes. Intense involvement in competitive sports often begins during childhood. During adolescence, many athletes reach their peak performance and some may participate in World Championships and Olympic Games at a relatively young age. The Young Athlete presents the available information relevant to exercise and training in youth, reviewed and summarized by authors who are recognized as leaders in their respective fields. The Young Athlete is subdivided into seven parts covering: the physiologic bases of physical performance in view of growth and development; trainability and the consequences of a high level of physical activity during childhood and adolescence for future health; the epidemiology of injuries, their prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation; non-orthopedic health concerns including the pre-participation examination; psychosocial issues relevant to young athletes; diseases relevant to child and adolescent athletes; the methodology relevant to the assessment of young athletes. This valuable reference summarizes a large database of information from thousands of studies and is especially relevant to sports physicians, pediatricians, general practitioners, physical therapists, dietitians, coaches, students, and researchers in the exercise sciences.
