The TopVelocity GFT Hitting program is a ground-breaking method to improve bat speed. The GFT program, which stands for Ground Force Torque, moves energy from the ground up to the bat speed via a kinetic chain strategy. This method puts an emphasis on strengthening...
In this discussion, I will be looking at the strength and conditioning programmed in the MLB. Before analyzing their model of programming for strength and conditioning I would first like to breakdown their general evaluation models across the league. Evidence suggests...
In this project, I will be working with a male baseball pitcher to improve his speed, agility, and quickness for throwing a baseball. The baseball pitcher is nineteen years of age and currently plays college baseball. He has some good understanding of general strength...
Every athlete should be focused on developing more speed and strength. In many conventional approaches to strength and conditioning, these components are trained separately when they are related (Baker, 1995). The secret to how fast an athlete can run or jump is...
It is conventional wisdom in baseball to teach or believe that arm speed is what determines throwing velocity and there are many training methods that are built around the ability to develop arm speed or arm strength, but the evidence tells a different story. It is a...
