Book Effectiveness of Shoulder Positioning in Isokinetic Strength and Throwing Velocity in High School Baseball Pitchers

Download or read book Effectiveness of Shoulder Positioning in Isokinetic Strength and Throwing Velocity in High School Baseball Pitchers written by Ivan J. Mulligan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball is enjoyed by millions in the United States every year. One of the more prevalent positions in baseball for injury is the pitcher. Baseball pitchers place the throwing shoulder under tremendous stress. For this reason, the shoulder in the throwing athlete has been the subject of extensive research. The purpose of this study was four-fold: 1) to determine the isokinetic profile of shoulder internal and external rotators of concentric and eccentric contractions of the nondominant and dominant shoulder in high school aged baseball pitchers; 2) to determine if a clinical examination could be used to determine scapular weakness which then could be used in a preseason screening to possibly prevent injuries; 3) to determine if a pitcher who demonstrated scapular weakness would exhibit more pain and limitations when examining the postseason questionnaire; and 4) to determine if placing the shoulder in a posterior position enhances isokinetic strength and velocity.

Book The Biomechanical Effects of Rotator Cuff Taping on Muscle Activity and Throwing Velocity in Fatigued Baseball Players

Download or read book The Biomechanical Effects of Rotator Cuff Taping on Muscle Activity and Throwing Velocity in Fatigued Baseball Players written by Kara-Lyn Harrison and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Due to the repetitive, high forces and torques placed on an individual during a baseball pitch, shoulder pain is present in 46-57% of pitchers. Therapeutic taping has been used in various sports including baseball as it has been proposed to have beneficial qualities in injury prevention and rehabilitation and performance enhancement via muscular facilitation. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to investigate the effect of taping (Kinesio Tape® and no tape) on the velocity of an overhead baseball throw and muscle activation patterning of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and pectoralis major muscles in baseball players after muscle fatigue has been induced. Methods: Participants were asked to complete two, 45-minute sessions under two different taping conditions (no tape and Kinesio Tape®). Participants were asked to complete three pretest maximum velocity overhead throws, a fatiguing protocol, followed by three post-test maximum velocity pitches while velocity and EMG activity in the infraspinatus, supraspinatus, teres minor, and pectoralis major muscles were measured. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in throwing velocity with the application of the different taping conditions, t(5)=.456, p=.668. There was no statistically significant difference in tape conditions on the supraspinatus muscle activity in phases one (t(6)=-1.023, p=.346) , two (t(6)=.172, p=.869), or three (t(6)=-.299, p=.775) of the overhead throw. There was no statistically significant difference in tape conditions on the infraspinatus muscle activity in phases one (t(6)=.436, p=.678), two (t(5)=1.66, p=.158), or three (t(5)=.314, p=.766) of the overhead throw. There was no statistically significant difference in taping conditions on the pectoralis major muscle activity in phases one (t(5)=.871, p=.424), two (t(4)=.520, p=.63), or three (t(5)=1.073, p=.332) of the overhead baseball throw. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, Kinesio Tape® does not significantly change muscle activation or velocity of an overhead baseball throw when compared to a no tape condition. Future research needs to complete testing with a larger sample size to better capture the effects of taping on surface EMG in the baseball population. Clinicians, baseball players, baseball coaches, and trainers should consider the possible pros and cons of taping in deciding whether or not to apply therapeutic taping to the shoulder and the rotator cuff muscles.
