The relationship between Sports Ability and Baseball-Batting Velocity was also examined.Thirtybaseball players from Meiho University baseball team participated in an eight-weekfunctional training program for this study.The overall Sports Ability—in term of evaluating player’s strength, explosive strength, muscular power and coordination—was determinedby the measurements of deep squats with the standard of one-repetition maximum (1RM), Romanian DealLifts (RDL at 1RM), 30-meter sprints, and standing jumps, correspondingly. The speed of batting was also measured. Data were collected before and after the training program; and were analyzed by the paired t-tests.Ourresults showed that both Sports Ability and Batting Velocity were significantly improved(p< 0.05)after eight-week functional training, and there was a greatcorrelation in improvement ofoverall Sports Ability and Batting Velocity as well. Therefore, a short-term focused and functional training program beneficially resulted in a better overall Sports Ability of baseball player who performed better in batting.
