Objective: The current study aims to determine if the impulse of the lower extremity is implicit in the development of maximum baseball velocity during a typical baseball swing. Methods: Fifteen healthy male collegiate baseball players were recruited from the Miami University (Oxford, Ohio) baseball team. All participants completed 10 trial swings off a stationary tee stand while standing on a pair of force plates. A motion sensor was placed on each subject’s bat to track velocity data. Results: Impulse type (X, Z, XZ) was correlated with exit velocity for each individual subject though only a select few showed significance. However, when an overall analysis was taken of every hitting trial combined, all three impulse types were significantly correlated to exit velocity. 2020-07-31 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1596196011551303 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1596196011551303 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
