“…Future studies could separate women's and men's shots, taking into account García, Ruiz, Argudo, & Borges (2017) who found differences depending on distance and micro-situations variables. In addition, the effect of the regulatory changes proposed by FINA in 2019 can be analysed.…”

The aim of this study was twofold: to know if the left-handed players are more effective in the goal categories and getting positive actions, in 1 and 2 position, than the right-handed in the same position at numerical inequality. To ascertain if the shots in 1 and 2 position, are less effective than the rest of the positions in the goal categories. A nomothetic observational, multidimensional and punctual design was used. The sample was the 389 shots and the 182 positive actions of 24 games (12 male and 12 female) at 15th FINA World Championship held in Barcelona. To record the data was used an ad hoc instrument for observation through the Sport Code Version Pro V9. Descriptive and Chi-square test was applied to study the relationship between variables. Left-handed players are more effective than right-handed players are if they are related to the goal and positive action categories in position 1. Shots from position 1 are the second least effective while position 2 is the fifth most effective. Resumen. El objetivo de este estudio fue doble: saber si los jugadores zurdos son más efectivos en las categorías de gol y obtener acciones positivas, en la posición 1 y 2, que los diestros en la misma posición en la desigualdad numérica. Determinar si los lanzamientos desde posición 1 y 2 son menos efectivos que desde el resto de posiciones en las categorías de gol. Se utilizó un diseño nomotético observacional, multidimensional y puntual. La muestra fueron los 389 tiros y las 182 acciones positivas de 24 juegos (12 masculinos y 12 femeninos) en el 15º Campeonato Mundial FINA celebrado en Barcelona. Para registrar los datos se utilizó un instrumento ad hoc para observación a través del software Sport Code Version Pro V9. Se aplicó la prueba descriptiva y de Chi-cuadrado para estudiar la relación entre las variables. Los jugadores zurdos son más efectivos que los diestros si están relacionados con el objetivo y las categorías de acción positiva en la posición 1. Los lanzamientos desde la posición 1 son los segundos menos efectivos, mientras que desde la posición 2 es la quinta más efectiva.

“…5 Throwing velocity has been found to be an important contributor to success in overhead sports such as baseball, handball, cricket and water polo. 6,7 In fact, overhead throwing velocity has been found to be the best predictor of success in baseball pitchers. 8 As a result, throwing velocity is one of the most evaluated and desired measures of pitching performance.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of grunting on overhead throwing velocity in collegiate baseball pitchers. A repeated-measures experimental design was used. Twenty-four division III collegiate baseball pitchers with a mean age of 20.3 ± 1.6 years voluntarily participated in the study. Subjects were shown a video demonstration of a pitcher grunting during the acceleration phase of pitching and asked to replicate the technique during three practice throws. Corrective verbal feedback from researchers was given regarding the timing of the grunt during practice throws. Subjects then performed randomized sets (3 grunting and 3 non-grunting trials) of overhead throws from a standard pitching mount in the stretch position with maximum effort. Throwing velocities were measured with a calibrated radar gun. Paired-samples t-tests were used to compare average throwing velocities between the grunting and non-grunting trials at the 0.05 alpha level. Mean overhead throwing velocity was significantly higher during the grunting trials than the non-grunting trials. Age, height, weight, and handedness had no impact on the effect of grunting on overhead throwing velocity. Grunting offers a simple, immediate means of enhancing overhead throwing velocity in the collegiate baseball pitching population. Additional research is needed to determine the effects in populations of greater or lesser skill.
