Abstract:The temporal order of movements in the joints and body segments have been described for various athletic movements. In baseball pitching, the proximal-to-distal kinematic sequence (KS) in the upper body is important for maximizing ball velocity and efficient energy transfer. Baseball batting is one of the most difficult skills in sports; however, few studies have investigated the temporal characteristics of baseball batting, particularly between players of different ages and skill levels. PURPOSE: To describe … Show more
