Biomechanical Implications of Performance Garments During the Overhead Throw Among Female Athletes
Gascon, Sarah (2019-07-18) ETD File Embargoed
The overhead throw is a dynamic motion that requires sequential movements of segments throughout the kinetic chain to efficiently deliver a ball to a specified target. Alterations throughout the kinetic chain often result ...
Biomechanics of the Lower Extremity Dynamic Balance Tests: Kinematics and Electromyography Analysis of the Y-Balance Test and the Star Excursion Balance Test
Abu Alim, Mariam (2016-08-03)
Lower extremity dynamic balance is maintained through a sequence of segmental motions within a kinetic chain. Reaching dynamic balance tests measure the distance in which one can extend his/her center of gravity over the ...
Clinical Tests of Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex Function in Individuals with and without Scapular Dyskinesis: Implications for Identifying Individuals at Risk for Upper Extremity Injury
Henning, Lisa (2016-12-09)
Scapular dyskinesis reflects suboptimal scapular function that may have damaging effects on surrounding structures. Due to its association with nearly all shoulder injuries, it has been recommended that the dynamic scapular ...
The Effect of Ankle Bracing on Lower Extremity Coordination, Coordination Variability, and Neuromuscular Activity in Individuals with and without Chronic Ankle Instability
Jagodinsky, Adam (2016-07-22)
Ankle sprain injuries and ankle bracing act as constraints that can influence natural coordination pattern dynamics. Recently, researchers studying the progression of chronic ankle instability (CAI) have used measures of ...
The Effect of Stride Foot Contact Orientation on Overhand Shot Kinematics, Kinetics, and Performance Outcomes in Male Lacrosse Players
Hanks, Matthew (2018-06-05)
Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing team sports in the United States having increased from 253,931 players in 2001 to 826,033 players in 2016. Currently, there are no data regarding the kinematics and kinetics of the ...
The Effect of Throwing Intensity on Overhand Throwing Mechanics
Wasserberger, Kyle (2021-12-07)
Overhead throwing is a dynamic and demanding movement that places great amounts of stress on the throwing arm. Current consensus attributes most throwing-related injuries to repeated microtrauma of the musculoskeletal ...
Effect of Weight in the Non-Throwing Hand on the Baseball Pitching Motion
Barfield, Jeff (2019-07-02)
Baseball is a sport which includes various sequential motions that utilize the entire kinetic chain. When considering the baseball pitching motion, the sports medicine community often refers to the kinetic chain as the ...
The Effects of Aerobic and Localized Fatigue on Jump Shot Kinematics and Kinetics in Team Handball Players
Plummer, Hillary (2015-05-13)
Team handball has become a very popular sport throughout the world and according to
the International Handball Federation over 30 million athletes in 183 countries currently play the
sport. The purpose of this project ...
The Effects of Body Composition on Female Softball Pitching Biomechanics
Friesen, Kenzie (2020-11-24)
Additional mass is often considered beneficial for softball pitching performance; however, there may be adverse effects of increased body mass and body fat on softball pitching biomechanics. The purpose of this project was ...
The Effects of Cervical Spine Position and Spinal Manipulation on Shoulder Rotation Strength
Giordano, Kevin (2021-07-22)
Shoulder rotation strength is included as part of an orthopedic examination for clinicians treating patients presenting with shoulder pathology. However, for populations prone to shoulder injury, such as overhead athletes ...
The Effects of Increased Workload on Softball Pitching Mechanics, Range of Motion, and Strength
Downs Talmage, Jessica (2021-06-28)
Softball pitching is a dynamic motion that requires the entire kinetic chain and has been documented to result in whole body muscular fatigue. In addition to muscular fatigue, increased pain has been documented after a ...
Influence of the Lumbopelvic-hip Complex on Female Softball Hitting
Washington, Jessica (2018-05-10)
Softball hitting is one of the most difficult skills in sport. Lumbopelvic-hip complex (LPHC) stability, as well as proper proximal to distal segmental sequencing, can directly influence hitting performance, because segment ...
Influence of the Lumbopelvic-hip Complex on Upper Extremity Kinetics in Baseball Pitching
Williams, Portia (2019-07-24)
The ability of the upper extremity to function efficiently, depends on the strength and stability provided by the lower extremity and lumbopelvic-hip complex (LPHC), however the vast majority of overhead throwing literature ...
Measuring Trunk Stability and Range of Motion: Two Field Tests for Wheelchair Basketball Classification
Rehm, Jared (2015-07-24)
Adapted sports are sports that enable people with disabilities to participate in sport through modification of traditional sport or new sports designed for people with disabilities. Classification systems are utilized ...
The relationship between energy flow, mechanics, and performance in softball hitting
Bordelon, Nicole (2022-06-14) ETD File Embargoed
Energy flow through the kinetic chain is one of the most foundational concepts in softball hitting literature. However, to the author’s knowledge, previous literature has yet to examine the relationships between mechanics ...
Yoga: Effects on Throwing Performance, Range of Motion, Strength, and Flexibility in a NCAA Division I Softball Team
Holt, Taylor (2016-05-03)
Overhead throwing is a highly dynamic, total-body motion that requires strength, range of motion, flexibility, functional stability, and neuromuscular coordination. Throwing athletes train diligently to improve these ...
