Summary

Baseball batting is important to winning the games. Baseball batting is achieved by proximal-to-distal sequencing of body movements and controlled by the neuromuscular system. Poor lumbopelvic control could influence production and transfer of energy in the kinetic chain. This study aims to investigate the effects of functional movement training on hitting mechanics and bat swing velocity in high school baseball players.

Interventions

OTHER

Functional training

Functional training refers to exercises that targets the muscles of the lumbopelvic-hip complex in order for them to more appropriately support and control the spine.

OTHER

Routine training

Routine training refers to general exercises that perform before and after practice, including jogging, stretching and strengthening exercises for upper and lower extremities
