Badminton is the fastest racket sport in the world with smash speeds reaching over 111 m/s
(400 kph). This study examined the forehand jump smash in badminton using synchronised …

In overhead throwing, core muscles play a role in transferring momentum from the trunk to
the arm. Yet, studies evaluating various core exercise programs on core muscle function and …

The relationship between ankle joint function and throwing-related injuries has not been
demonstrated. We hypothesized that limited ankle joint range of motion (ROM) was related …

Background Performance in javelin throwing is dependent on the release speed and
therefore the energy transferred to the javelin. Little is known about the flow of mechanical …

The purpose of this article is to provide updated information for sports health care specialists
regarding the Disabled Throwing Shoulder (DTS). A panel of experts, recognized for their …

Performance during the baseball pitch is dependent on the flow of mechanical energy
through the kinetic chain. Little is known about energy flow during the pitching motion and it …

Context Inadequate hip active range of motion (AROM) may stifle the energy flow through
the kinematic chain and decrease pitching performance while increasing the risk for pitcher …

Background: This study evaluated treatment modality (surgical vs nonoperative) of medial
ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries in nonprofessional throwing baseball athletes by …

The importance of a proximal-to-distal (P–D) sequential motion in baseball pitching is
generally accepted; however, the mechanisms behind this sequential motion and motor …

Background: The softball pitch is a full-body motion, where efficient proximal to distal energy
flow through the kinetic chain is said to reduce stress at the upper extremity. Although …
