Abstract

ABSTRACT Throwing velocity is a crucial component to success in baseball athletes, especially at the position of pitcher. Through practice and proper instruction, pitchers can refine their pitching mechanics to maximize efficiency and throwing velocity in tandem with improving injury resistance. Non-specific training such as gym-based resistance training has been used concurrently with baseball skills training to enhance athletic abilities, including throwing velocity. Increases in throwing velocity have been observed while training with lighter (greater than 12 repetition maximum [RM]) and heavier (3–12 RM) loads. Specific training such as variably weighted baseballs has also been utilized to facilitate increases in throwing velocity. Throwing velocity has also been successfully increased using balls overweight and underweight than the standard five-ounce baseball. More clarity is needed regarding necessary strength levels, range of motion, and progressions in ball mass or throwing volume when applying this training mode. Training methods to increase throwing velocity in baseball athletes should include resistance training with a variety of loads and throwing variably weighted baseballs within the athlete's capability.

提高棒球运动员投掷速度的训练方法综述

摘要投掷速度是棒球运动员成功的关键因素，尤其是在投手位置。通过练习和适当的指导，投手可以完善他们的投球机制，以最大限度地提高效率和投球速度，同时提高抗伤能力。非特定训练，如基于健身房的阻力训练，已与棒球技能训练同时使用，以提高运动能力，包括投掷速度。在较轻（最大重复次数超过12次[RM]）和较重（3-12次RM）负荷的训练中，观察到投掷速度的增加。特定的训练，如可变重量的棒球，也被用来促进投掷速度的提高。与标准的五盎司棒球相比，使用超重和体重不足的球也成功地提高了投掷速度。在应用这种训练模式时，需要更清楚地了解必要的力量水平、运动范围以及球质量或投掷量的进步。提高棒球运动员投掷速度的训练方法应包括在运动员能力范围内进行各种负荷的阻力训练和投掷可变重量的棒球。
